My question is, why is the block_hosts not working here?
Usually such a filter is meant to reject emails when a sending MTA listed in the file connects to your MTA, i.e. it will work only for a direct TCP session, not for any header entries. The new SPAM variant uses Google as email provider and circumvents your filter. Simply adding Google to the filter list won't help since there should be also valid email from other gmail users. BTW, Google Groups (mailing lists) are another source of SPAM. SPAMmers started to misuse that service. It's easy to unsubscribe but the opt-out nature is quite annoying. And Google doesn't care. :(
