Google [1]denied claims Monday that it had issued a security warning to Gmail users about a major vulnerability. The company stated that recent reports claiming a broad Gmail security alert were "entirely false." Google said its email service blocks more than 99.9% of phishing and malware attempts from reaching users' inboxes.

I've had my same email address for decades. It's on many many lists I never signed up for.
My google account is a paid for (nonfree) one. All filters are on.
The #1 spam ofeender is Google. Google allows its users to spam everyone.
Google will block emalls from others regardless of anti-spam features like SPF, DKIM, DMARC, but they allow other gmail users to spam everyone continously and with immnunity.
Fuck google.
