Seems like the amount of spam I am getting is massively up in recent months. Tons of pure spam, but also a very significant amount of email lists I definitely never subscribed to. I keep clicking 'report spam' but I feel like that button does nothing at all.
Best theory I've read is that sometimes Gmail needs to let some unclassified spam through and have users report it to get feedback on an algorithm change.
I got four of those over a two day period, random domains but always from smilie or similar. Every time I marked as spam, but they kept making it to my inbox. No idea why as there must be thousands of people telling Google that those are spam.
