Yep, looks like that. I studied the headers, and did a little
superficial research: "Pilgrim Quality Solutions, Inc." seems
to actually exist [1], although it seems highly improbable that
someone writing officially on their behalf writes from an address
like <inboxemailer@gmail.com>.

The other thing which sticks out is -- DKIM, Spamhaus et al. are
all fine -- no wonder since the mail is coming from Google. The
result of all those anti-spam contortions à la DKIM and SPF seems
to be that the Big Boys get the monopoly on spam -- as if they
hadn't enough monopolies already.

Sometimes I'm glad I'm *that* old. Apologies to the younger ones
for leaving behind such a stinkin' mess. Honestly: we believed
we were creating something great.

Cheers
