I admit that looks bad. The last time I looked into something like that for someone on this list, that person was literally the only target for the mail, and automatically catching one person sending email to one other person that doesn't want it, is hard. Even if we ban the account, they can just sign up for another one. Our system doesn't scale down that far, to a single bad actor willing to expend a lot of resources to send a tiny amount of mail. 419 mail is tough, though we do block a lot of it. Spear phishing is another one that's really challenging at that level.
I don't see your reports in the ab...@gmail.com queue, but maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing.
