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.
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.
How would you suggest we do that? thank you.

What exactly do you mean by “killing them”? If you are referring to
forcibly taking the servers offline, that would most likely be illegal.
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.
Not to mention an amount of the spamming addresses are using Gmail and
Yahoo mail accounts, and we can’t “kill” those sources.
