Folks,
I used to manage e-mail filters for our local council. They were "pants".
Generally I could spot spam just from the subject line, and for some reason they
couldn't.
Almost all the lists I am on have been having recent issues with things going to SPAM. I
think a lot is because of the demise of Yahoo.
... and Microsoft cleaned up Hotmail a long time ago. I seldom see SPAM from Hotmail
addresses. GMAIL more often, but most often it appears to be from a compromised windows
machine

Thank you both for your information but I am still mystified as to why
Gmail marks Google alerts (from Google!) as spam.
That is particularly amusing/irritating, yes.
I have 3 or 4 connected accounts -- AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc. -- and when it
detects what it thinks are intrusion attempts, Google notifies me on all of
them. Then the ones to non-Google services get collected into Gmail, and
promptly flagged as spam. But I suppose that, to Google, Google errors that
didn't come from Google but from non-Google services _are_ suspicious...
