Haha, I did the exact same thing and found the exact same messages. I thought maybe they were fake, but looking into them they look legit.

Good job, Google!!

Yes, my first reaction was also thinking those were indeed fake google emails. but I checked the logging in time and the from email address, they are legit (I got two emails like this filtered this week).

those emails were sent from [email protected]

wait, there is a line on top of that email saying:

Why is this message in Spam? It has a from address in accounts.l.google.com but has failed accounts.l.google.com's required tests for authentication.

what are required tests for authentication?

That sounds like a bug on Google's end.
