Are you referring to shielded emails? If so, I did find this article that has suggestions: What Apple’s New ‘Hide My Email’ Means for Marketers & Their Email Campaigns | Squarebird

Apparently, Google is working on something similar and they also are doing something to reduce threats in the Play Store apps.

Sorry, that's all I know, I don't keep up anymore but thought I'd share that little bit.

Google's spam updates are basically their way of saying, "Don't try to fool us." If you're creating quality content and playing by the rules, you're good to go. But if your practices look like "black hat SEO magic," you might want to rethink your strategy, or risk getting booted from the rankings

That has always been their policy, at least since they started paying attention to such things, maybe ten or more years ago. I guess they have to remind folks, sometimes. The policy makes perfect sense, they only want 'white hat' methods and quality.

Google has updated its spam policies to enhance email security and user experience. Bulk senders must authenticate emails using SPF, DKIM, and DMARC protocols, provide easy unsubscribe options, and maintain low spam complaint rates. Non-compliance may lead to email rejections. Additionally, Google's AI-powered scam detection feature analyzes incoming texts for suspicious patterns, warning users of potential scams.
