There are several Google Groups that I subscribe to and this regularly happens:

A real person who I know in real life, whose messages I care about posts to Google Group from a Gmail account, and the message ends up in my own Gmail spam filter.

Like - the message didn't even leave the Google infrastructure and it got tagged as spam?!



I've had email messages from Google about Google products for which I have an active account using my Google email address get marked as spam by Google spam filters.


That settles it then. They truly have lost their edge.


Even spam can originate in Gmail. There’s no reason not to scan everything.


It was not spam though, and you'd think it'd be fairly easy for Google to figure that out when they control the whole round trip.
