Same reason I did I imagine :-)

I had two batches of the junk quite a while back, spaced by a week or
so. I associate the problem with google apparently storing failed mails
and bouncing them repeatedly - IMBW of course. I was irritated enough to
put a specific rule in my mail server to refuse the junk - and checking
my mail logs, I see from last night

oATNNbD9044367:
Nov 29 23:23:48 data sendmail[44367]: Milter:
from=<[email protected]>, reject=554 5.7.1 SPAMCHK054 dloveless
bounces sent here wrongly! (same thing sent many times)
Nov 29 23:23:48 data sendmail[44367]: from=<[email protected]>,
size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA,
relay=mail-vw0-f41.google.com [209.85.212.41]

And the previous one was on Nov 25th.

So they're still coming; at least I don't see them now!

I rate the chances of Google taking note of complaints as of the order 1
in a googol  :-}
