Thank you, Brandon. What's weird is that the warning is not popping up for
gmail.com recipients, but only when sent to a private domain mailboxes hosted
by Google.
Thanks for your feedback, everyone.

I would also point out it wouldn't be the first time that a Google
error/warning/info message for spam/phishing things wasn't quite accurate. My
guess it is something that could be a spoofed email address, even if it's not
because of specific characters in it.
I'd guess that there is some small edit distance between the from address and
the to address or domain... or a small edit distance between it and more common
domains.
Think g-mail.com instead of gmail.com, for example. Or gmai1.com... or
g.mail.com.

so you can't send email to a gmail user if they happen to have the same
name as you, or (perhaps more likely) from your own non-gmail account to
your gmail account?
Of course you can. You need to remember these are recommendations and sending
best practices for bulk (!) senders.
Sending an email from "Klaus Klammer <kl...@klammer.com>" to another Klaus
Klammer is probably fine.
Sending emails from "Klaus Klammer <bulk@sendercom> and another from "Kari
Kleber <b...@sender.com>" to Klaus and Kari and a lot of other receivers
probably not. (Even if the email address changes between sends, mailbox
providers can still identify the bulk sender
here.)_______________________________________________
