Konrad,

I think you hit the nail on the head. For background Martin has already
got himself banned from the Tomcat users mailing list for posting
responses with little or no relevance the question being asked, refusing
to accept there was anything wrong with his responses and refusing to
take on board the feedback he was given both privately and publicly on
how to make his responses more useful.

My personal recommendation is to configure a procmailrc rule that routes
any mail from Martin to /dev/null.
