Good luck. These big tech companies have no incentive to care about support or really anything that isn’t tied directly to making money. And unless you have a friend there, Google staff have no incentive either. Solving this won’t help with their promotions.

It honestly is a bit dissapointing that most of the internet's "infrastructure" is tied up in large corporations that just get money for free by being the only provider and face little to no backlash (because of their monopoly) when they neglect things like basic customer service.

Maybe they should try getting a paid Google Workspace subscription /s

It seems weird that Google wouldn't have some kind of observability alert on outgoing email. 10k emails per week is a lot.

Spammer must be a whale spending untold amounts on other Google services.
