The Project.Manager email is curious. It states compliance with new bill (not law) of some unknown governing authority's unknown law book. I smell HOAX all over it. It reminded me of something though. The State of Washington is prosecuting a spammer under our new anti-spam law. The penalty can be as much as 2,000 USD per email sent. One of the items needed is a legitimate return email adress. Let me ask you, Is Project.Manager@freebsd.org a legitimate address? (I really doubt it but must ask.) If not, then this spammer might be prosecuted under Washington State Law. This would be interesting to see how our law handles "mailing lists". Since I am a resident of Washington, every single spammer who hits FreeBSD-whatever could face charges.
