Actually, it has merits, because it is spam, had it gone to users@ or
announce@  it of course would be no big deal, the fact it went direct is
where the line was crossed when there is no explicit mention in the
lists welcoming message that you might from time to time get commercial
opportunity emails sent directly to you.

As is the auto redirect address to place the senders MTA server IP in
DNSBL's.

Imagine the outcry you mob would be carrying on about if Microsoft did
the same thing, nobody would be so quick to defend them :)

OH, and it would not be the first time dovecots servers have been in a
DNSBL, last time  was about 2 or 3 years ago IIRC.
