Probably spammers are sending email purporting to me from me. It
happens now and again to anyone with a well-known email address. For
the emails direct to you, not through the list, I'm surprised the
domain's SPF record didn't do more to convince Gmail.

Also, aren't I in your address book? I'd have thought that would always
stop them being marked as spam.

No, I don't think there's any issue with the ISP sending mail on my
behalf, pair.com, it's almost certainly down to forged spam using my
email address.
Cheers,
Ralph.
