Well, that's kind of a weird message. updates@fedoraproject isn't really
an 'account', just a sender identity. As we all know, those are trivial
to forge (at least superficially). fedoraproject.org does not implement
SPF or DKIM so far as I can see, so it's not as if google could see that
spam that appeared to be coming from updates@fp.o had been DKIM signed
or passed SPF checks, the only way it could really safely come to the
conclusion that a legitimate sending mechanism had actually been
compromised rather than simply someone spoofing the from address,
really. I'm inclined to blame Google, unless I'm missing something.
