I just got this guy's spam too. It doesn't look like anything anyone said to him last month[0] stuck.
His intentions are now very suspicious to me too. I will definitely not be pointing anything at his servers.

Hello,
I came across your TOR relay on atlas. I run a few relays myself along with a bunch of DNS resolvers which are a part of the Open Root Server network (ORSN.org) - aimed to fight internet censorship and circumvent government surveillance programs (ie. prism).
I hope you may be interested in using our anonymous open DNS resolvers on your relays.

Yes, I agree.
I wonder if there's a way to scan the exit relays to find out if any of them got suckered by this social engineering attack. Maybe based on the DNS discovery infrastructure that Philipp Winter et al used?
