Several people, including myself, have been commenting that they are seeing new Gmail warnings today. This doesn’t seem to be consistent across all Gmail accounts or senders, and doesn’t seem to be impacting Google Workspace accounts. The error links to a Google support document about reporting spam and List-Unsubscribe details. This seems to be a false positive alert from Gmail and according to their status pages they are working to fix the error as soon as possible.
An update from Google reads as follows:
