I'm an admin for a large company and I managed our spam filter. I found some unusual emails and I'm wondering if Google's DNS was hacked. We have many emails in quarantine from 8.8.8.8 and from localhost. Below is what I'm seeing. Has anyone else seen this? If this needs to be reported to Google, I can't find where to report it.

If your spamfilter quarantined these emails, it works as it should. SMTP standard allows a sender to impersonate anyone he like.
