Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do to prevent a spammer from
subscribing and collecting any mailing lists.
If you have any proof that they're collecting addresses from redhat-list,
it probably qualifies as theft of service and resource abuse, but I'm not
a lawyer.

However, you can try to have them shut down. Look at the message:

The message originates from uu.net -> let abuse@uu.net know.
The spammer fakes a hostname in *.hotmail.com -> let abuse@hotmail.com
know. He's not actually using the hotmail servers, but claiming he does so
damages their reputation and generates traffic and workload on their abuse
department; some ISPs have successfully sued spammers over that.

3454552827 is 205.232.74.251 == FreeSpaceStation.com
--> Go http://www.freespacestation.com/abuse.shtml

If they don't react, according to ARIN their direct uplink is nsiweb.com,
so you'll want to complain to abuse@nsiweb.com and sanj@nsiweb.com.
