Growing spam problem

[memnus]

Gmail's spam filter has started to be broken. I've been getting more and more emails purporting to be from my cs.hmc.edu account, originally to that same account, then .forwarded to gmail. Gmail seems to actually believe the from address, even though the headers show it originating elsewhere, and sending it straight to my inbox.

Is this a sign that my CS account is compromised, and I need to worry, or do I just need to start making specific filters?

It's done this to me since junior year sometime.

Even if gmail is running the filters on the mail forwarded from HMC (which it probably is), the prior probability that mail from you is non-spam is fairly high, so it's a tricky thing to filter.
