As mentioned by Robert this is not coming from Google Workspace but Google 
Groups. As far as I have understood it, spammers create or hijack newsgroups, 
add countless addresses to the groups and then send their spam to the groups 
addresses.

To block Google Groups messages completely, you can filter for messages coming 
from servers which resolve to *.google.com and contain the header 
"X-Google-Group-Id". If you do not want or cannot wait until EOD you can check 
if MAIL FROM includes "+bnc". However this might yield some false positives, as 
Google users could use addresses which include this string.
