its spam definetly , they use google and it's not spoofing.
funny thing is when you search for googlegroups abuse :
Friendly reminder that if you encounter emails on this list that you
believe are spam or abuse of the list, please report the abuse using the
google groups Report Abuse feature in the drop-down in the top right of
the message in the web interface. All emails should have a "To view this
discussion on the web visit" link in their footer that will direct you
to the web interface. This is for if you are subscribed through the
google group.
Seems you can only report google groups abuse from your google account ,
that leaves
out a lot of people if they don't have a google account . Also what
happens when the you're
spammed on your business email but you have to report the abuse from
your personal gmail account ?
This is very grey and vague I think .

This is more likely to work probably , I will create a rule with low
score at first to check
thanks for suggesting
