Maybe. Maybe it's being used as a proxy.

Waste of time without a Court Order.

Just want to get this spammer's (or worse) headers into the
Archives.
You'd be nuts to mail him. And insane to install his software.
The fact that he actually thinks anyone will trust someone who
is behaving with the evasiveness of troll/spammer/cyberstalker
indicates that _he_ has a few loose screws.
Looks like a complete con job. 'His' software is probably some
malicious program he downloaded from a windows' script kitty site
that's written to trash Linux boxes.
We do have that "flatfish++" (AKA you-name-it) anti-linux punk
posting here all the time.
Don't touch that software unless the source code is available on
a web or ftp site. Full open source.
