I do agree. I had said before that this could possibly be an attempted attack on the network by trying to infect relay operators machines with spyware, etc.

How would you suggest we do that? thank you.

As Marv says, "I love hitmen. No matter what you do to them, you don't
feel bad." So I don't care so much about "illegal". Indeed, there is
effectively no law that protects us from jerks like this. Maybe they're
just sex spammers, but you gotta treat them like malicious attackers,
because they might be. That's especially so because they're targeting
Tor Project lists. So it comes down to the right of self-defense.

Sure. For those, you just keep filing abuse reports. Just automate it,
so every message triggers a report. If enough list members do that,
there'll be lots of abuse reports.
