I've seen that post and frankly I don't see anything that
clearly indicates it being posted by possible spammer. He may or may not implementing completely legimate mailing list. I find it somewhat annoying that last time on perlmonks nearly all questions related to mass email sending are suspected to be posted by spammers. You have to put "no, it is not for spam" in them or you risk your node get deleted by
NodeReaper.
Besides there is very little difference if you answer on question posted by spammer or "good" guy. In both cases your answers are archived on perlmonks and later can be used by both spammers and "good" guys.
Update: I'm curious why this node gets some downvotes. Is it offtopic or offensive? Not that I care about my XP (I have enough to be saint) but I just dislike when people silently express their disagreement with downvotes instead of commenting.
