I did some tiny digging because I remembered that there is a way to report individual messages in a structured machine readable way to abuse@ for these things --- i suspect that this is technically supported by gmail (if not given a lot of signal weight)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abuse_Reporting_Format

How to bulk do this is interesting too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feedback_loop_(email) says that gmail has a bulk format and that sendgrid is seeing some success.

Not defending just trying to see what a technical solution looks like



Edit: https://www.twilio.com/en-us/blog/insights/leveraging-gmail-...

Shows you how to use googles thing if you are a sender to know if @gmail folks are reporting you. It doesnt address what to do if someone's @gmail is doing this to you (a workspace custom domain yes)... @gmail are rate-limited to a few 1000s per day per gmail address but this is still a lot obviously
