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.
The Delete-Button is just one click away and in case something like this happens too often what for do we have this wonderful Sieve to this great Dovecot-software? ;-)
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.
