It sounds like you are already using the right tool, Google Calendar, but you may benefit from using it slightly differently.
I'd recommend creating a new calendar which you use for annual events only. Go to Settings > Calendars > and click on "Notifications" next to this new calendar. Here you can set up the default reminders for events created in this ...

They are sent based on 5pm the previous day in your calendar's local time zone.
From Google's page:
Reminders for events that last the
entire day ('All Day' events) are
based on 5:00 pm the day before the
event (according to your current time
zone). If you choose to receive your
reminder 10 minutes before your "All
Day" event on August 24th, ...

Looks like a perfect use case for ifthisthenthat
Put the internet to work for you by creating tasks that fit this simple structure:
if this then that.
Think of all the things you could do if you were able to define any task as: when something happens (this) then do something else (that).
Have a look at the list of weather channel triggers.

Google Tasks does not provide email alerts.
As mentioned by @Antoops, you can set alerts for Google Calendar events which may provide the functionality you are looking for.
It would be nice to see Google add the ability to set alerts for tasks, but I think they have left it out on purpose (since a task list is something you should check regularly by design ...

Weather.com sends me text messages based off of certain conditions. It sends these alerts to SMS on certain carriers and to email. https://registration.weather.com/ursa/alerts/step1

Try Trello.
You can create cards which are the tasks and users can then assign a card to themselves or to others. Clicking on a specific card will give you the history of the changes that have occurred (ex. John assigned this card to himself). You can also set up lists such as ToDo, Doing, and Done. Cards can then be moved to each list as the status ...

Go to the Gear Icon > Account Settings > Notifications > Email, then check if it's set to either 'All notifications, except the ones you unsubscribe from' or 'Important notifications about you or activity you've missed'. Also, check if you've unsubscribed to emails about Birthday Reminders. If yes, click on the corresponding 'Turn On' link.

This is a Google Calendar solution, and includes instructions on how to add reminder notifications, since the basic US Holiday calendar doesn't allow you to change Calendar-level notifications.

There are two plugins available that provide various scheduling functions, including reminders for unanswered email:
Boomerang
RightInbox
Both are available for Firefox and Chrome. They both also use the "Freemium" model. You can schedule up to 10 emails per month for free; if you need more than 10 per month, they offer monthly and annual subscription ...

My two cents: If you need SMS reminders for tasks, then your task-management system could probably benefit from some additional thought. You should be consulting and rearranging your daily task list multiple times per day.
I use Gcal and Gtasks, assigning tasks to the day when I expect to actually do them ("do" dates, not "due" dates). On today's list, I ...

I'm guessing this has to do with years of the Bayesian filter marking similar keywords as spam.
You can create a filter for the email address it comes from (e.g. calendar-notification@google.com), then check the Never send it to Spam option.
Hopefully after some time, Gmail will learn that these messages should not be sent to spam, and you won't even need ...

You could do this with Toodledo. It would use Twitter as an intermediary. You can create a Toodeldo task by sending a DM on Twitter. You can send Tweets (including DMs) via SMS.

Google Calendar does not automatically send reminders for events. Only when a reminder has been set will a reminder be prompted.
You can't set a reminder for individual users; you can only set reminders for the event which will prompt anybody who has access to a shared calendar.
To set a reminder:
Click on the event.
Click on Edit event.
Go to Reminders ...

Google calendar automatically sends emails reminding you and the other involved people about the event, It reminds you some time before and then 5 or 10 minutes before the event.
But if you double click on the event where you write all the event specifications and add your friends emails there is a part that says reminders there you can program when you want ...

I think you will have to contact the support to have this solved from the inside.
But you could also create a special filter that covers something unique from all these notifications that you're getting and trash them. I would guess that inside the body of the e-mail there is an e-mail with your old domain, since this was a Google Apps domain.

Take a look at reqall Adding a reminder by email is for Pro accounts only, but the free accounts lets you add items via IM, web, phone call, smartphone apps, and it's really good at handling natural language inputs. There is iCal support as well as Google Calendar integration.

Agreeing with @rchern's comment about this being ideal for gadgets.stackexchange.com when it launches.
That being said, a number of iOS4-enabled iPhone apps will do this, notably the latest version of Pocket Informant

Figure out which calendar the event exists on; look in the list of calendars on the left of the main display, click on the drop-down arrow to the right of the calendar name, click on "Calendar Settings".
You'll see the timezone for that calendar specified; if it's the main calendar for your account, it will be the timezone you've given Calendar for your ...

Your reminder will go off at 11:50pm - i.e. 10 minutes before midnight of the all-day event.
I just tried setting up a an all-day event with an alert to go off 800 minutes before. - i.e. at 10:40am - and it worked.
i.e., the all-day event begins at midnight at the start of that day.

I happen to use Yahoo Calendar, only because I was using it before Google Calendar was any good and never moved off of it. Now, with the iOS 4 upgrade on iPhones, the built-in calendar app syncs live with Yahoo and Google calendars. You'll get popup notifications on your reminder times.
Not sure what Google Calendar does, but Yahoo Calendar lets you set ...
