They probably wouldn't call it that, but it essentially is.

It's the Google Forms feedback request mechanism, where users can send requests 
to fill out forms to arbitrary lists of
recipients. Presumably intended for small polls, I've seen it used for that in 
a legitimate way.

However, since Google does not seem to properly act on abuse reports about 
their easily abused service, we reject all
mails from @trix with a message stating that senders should please use regular 
e-mail.

BTW, Microsoft had a very similar flaw which resulted in Sharepoint based spam, 
most likely having been exploited by the
same group of spammers. That seems to have been curbed in the meantime, maybe 
the Google folks should have a talk with
the Microsoft folks on how to get rid of this pest.

Cheers,
Hans-Martin
