Hi,

since June 28th we are flooded with thousands of emails from various gmail accounts going to one of our list addresses.

We have already reported some of them at

https://support.google.com/mail/contact/abuse

but it didn't really helped. There was a break from July 2nd but today it started again. By now we have got more than 15.000 mails like this.

All mails are a reply to the same automated mail from us, with one line added before the full quote like

"Thanks again for bringing this matter to my attention."
"Please let me know if that is acceptable with you."
"My great pleasure to meet you last week."

The original mail from us is from June 24th 2019, i.e. five years old, sent to the gmail address nillsonmandilla <at> gmail.com

The latest From address was msangw...@gmail.com, but I am counting more than 800 others gmail addresses in our logs.

All mails arrive via google servers. Here are the headers of one of tge last once as they arrive on our relay:

Is there any better place to report this kind of flooding to google then the web report form?

I am also puzzled how and why this is happening.

Any suggestions or advice is welcome.

Thanks,

Gerald
