Those Mails just keep coming. I replied to hundreds of them and never heard back. They're a normal part of maintaining my exit relay :)
We also get several e-mails from IP-Echelon every day. When it started, we replied to the sender address, but that e-mail bounced with a note from GMail to the effect that too many message for this account were coming in.
Next time, we additionally sent our reply to the other e-mail address mentioned in their mailings, copyright@ip-echelon.com, once more explaining that we are running a Tor exit node, and what this means. This is the reply we got:

We did not block anything for them, nor did we say so. So we took this e-mail as their acceptance of Tor exits.
But why do they continue to send us notices? We can only assume that they have no control over their spam bot. Or maybe they just want to advertise the hottest titles from Paramount. We think it is safe to delete this kind of spam.
