Right here I see that google forwarded your mail from their (google) server sending to the bizmailsrvcs.net (verizon) server, and VZ didn't jump in the path, google put them there.

Most likely cause is that you forwarded mail from google to verizon, which is probably a bad thing on many levels.
Not Verizon's fault.
