Er, I fell in this trap too. It seems like my yesterday messages were blocked (graylisted) in some way by that robot, and today, after following a link (now inactive) [1] from a trashmail, my messages were let in.
This is not fair at all. Due to the transitory nature of this annoyance, I posted the annoying message I received (if I had not followed its instructions, seems like my mailbox had been graylisted to this mailing list ) on http://paste.lisp.org/display/64384 I cleaned up some headers leaving evidence of the unfair subscriber.
