OK, but I would say "using Google's SMTP service" is a pretty salient point with this.

I do wonder if the spam trade is dying out; a non-technical minded brother mentioned that there is hardly any spam in his MS email account these days. What with DNSBL (blocklists) and SPF/DKIM checking routinely done by the mega providers who surely have the majority of the worlds email accounts, pity the poor spammer :-)
