Eike reported something similar...  I did not notice this... but then
maybe google mail is hiding that from me somehow...
I must admit that I'm ill equiped for this one as I have littel
control on the mail system itself... that is more a florian things...
and it is bjoern that did set-up the mail spaming in gerrit
originally... and I'm not really sure which trick was chosen.
I've done some reading since then, and found how we were supposed to
set-it up gerrit wise... but that surely was not set-up that way.

But clearly the one thing that changed recently is the system layer of
vm2 (the virtual machine that run gerrit-prod)
we have not changed any of gerrit conf regarding email...
