All the spam I get is newsletters from the perspective of the spammer. F that. My email should be for people.

  Well, if you didn't sign up for it then it probably is spam. But lots of people want to get newsletters and if you want to get it, then it isn't spam.

    Even if you did sign up for it it's probably spam. That's the real issue here. Given how aggressive businesses are with signing up people for unwanted newsletters it seems completely natural for Google to be suspicious of them.

      Yep. I waste an hour (probably) every week unsubscribing from various newsletters and marketing campaigns that I don't care about. Most corporations have largely taken "this person has given me an email address" -- even if one is necessary to use their service! -- as free license to hit them with all sorts of marketing messages. Really, these are spam -- unsolicited, unwanted email. It's just that "spam" has taken a stronger, more negative meaning.
