You could make a filter like this: The email is spam if FROM and TO address = my.email.fake@gmail.com AND Return-Path is not = my.email.fake@gmail.com

So you could still send emails to your self and they would not get flagged as spam.

The thing is I've used Gmail for nearly 10 years (give or take) - and I've never once had a spoofed email reach my inbox. Ever.

Something must have changed, most likely in the past 24 hours (give or take) to allow this to suddenly occur? Or someone's worked out a way passed the gmail spam filters or something.

Either way - this is clearly "new".

I’ve used Gmail for longer and I’ve seen it a lot over the years. What’s most likely changed is the volume at which the spammers are doing it, so you finally started seeing some come your way.

That would have been nice, but you can't actually filter by return-path in gmail :(
