Error: Spam and suspicious messages can't be used for recommended content or actions. Try searching for messages in your inbox
NOTE: This error may occur for Google customers who receive Hoxhunt training emails via traditional SMTP delivery and IP allowlisting. As a proper solution, Hoxhunt recommends to switch to Gmail API delivery instead.
This error occurs when Google has already categorized the email as spam or suspicious. You may also see an orange or red warning banner on top of the email.
When the suspicious email is not one of Hoxhunt's training emails, please follow your company's guidelines how to report the email to your Security team.
If you spot the email to be one of Hoxhunt's training email, there's no way for you to report it to Hoxhunt. In case this happens, try the following:
- Make sure the email is not in your Spam folder when you are reporting it.
- Check the email's headers (source) and provide them to Hoxhunt Support (support@hoxhunt.com) along with a screenshot of the complete email view (including any banners and the error message).
- Avoid using Gmail's native Report phishing and Report spam options, as you may report a Hoxhunt training email by mistake.
NOTE: Despite our best efforts, Google may sometimes disregard bypass rules made for Hoxhunt training emails. In our experience, the results vary even between employees within the same company.
Hoxhunt Support can re-send the training email to you in hopes it will then be reportable.
Error: Oh snap! Error [object Object]
This error can occur in few scenarios when you are trying to report a Hoxhunt training email:

- You are reporting a Hoxhunt training email that has been removed by Hoxhunt
