But only in Gmail then? Where is it possible to report a spam from a Gmail address received on a non-Gmail inbox?
Google is being a real PITA as the receiving side for people who try to self-host their mail or who use small providers. They should at least be good citizen on the sending side, which it seems they're not. They are killing email.
You can use this form

Eh? They do tons in anti-bot detection. But the value in exploiting and using Google's service is extremely high so bot authors are increasingly getting creative. Google stops running Gmail and simply another service becomes a high value target.
At least Microsoft fixed their Azure abuse after 10 years of not giving a fuck. It used to be stupid fucking easy to setup a trial O365 tenant and spam the fucking internet through "onmicrosoft.com" domains. And they let that go for 10 years.
edit: I might be incorrect on this and was thinking about how unsubscribing is standardized instead.
Basically, there is no standard beyond the ages-old requirement to have abuse@ and postmaster@ email addresses that react to such reports. Which Google doesn't follow at all, you just get redirected to some useless web form which requires a Google account and the sacrifice of a goat.
It is entirely Google's fault, and they should be shunned for it and their emails dropped. But unfortunately, they are too big for that by far...
Same as Gmail broke IMAP standard, or Gtalk XMPP standard.
Google can do whatever they please, they've become the standard of humanity surveillance.
