Just FYI (ongoing spam wars):

My Orcon home phone account emails my voicemails to a gmail account.
Recently (btw 26 Mar and 14 Apr), Gmail started flagging/routing this as spam.
I think I have fixed this for my own Gmail, but others may get this?
Orcon support have been informed...

Not much we can do about that - those voicemail notifications are by their very nature almost identical to each other and therefore share some characteristics with spam. Additionally Gmail operates a self-report system so if some users mark such notifications as spam then Gmail will assume similar notifications sent to others are spam and mark them as such.

You have the option to mark those messages as "not spam" and that should solve the issue for you.

More info on Gmail and their classification of spam here:
