This is my first and last reply regarding this topic. This troll sends this kind of spam to more mailing lists, than "just" those BSD and the Linux kernel lists we see in the headers here. I've noticed it at e.g. an Ubuntu mailing list, too. At one or the other mailing list, a list admin might not maintain the mailing list during festive season and several subscribers retrieve mails less often than usual, so instead getting one by one, they get tons of them at once, since an untrained spam filter can't work. However, 1. there are lists of those and other disposable-email-domains on git hub or similar sources available. 2. I'm not using such a list, but after reading half of the first sentence of one of the first mails from this spammer, a single mouse click to teach bogofilter was enough to get rid of all following emails immediately, excepted of replies to this malicious grinch. It is intended by this person to do it during festive season. We need to stand that this is an unfortunate moment to maintain spam filters and mailing lists. It gets even more worth, if people reply to those mindless mails. I can't understand that anybody takes the time to read more than one sentence, let alone to reply to it.
