Google is a huge source of spam, particularly B2B spam. There’s an entire industry built of companies selling plugins and other services that allow you to spam through your G Suite account. Yes, Google blocks outbound (for 24 hours) if one user sends more than 1000(?) messages a day. But the businesses just run multiple G Suite accounts. In “good” news, a lot of this mail is thrown away or dropped on the floor by filters, but companies tell me that it’s hugely profitable, so much so that they’d rather buy another set of domains / G suite account than give up the spam.
