It's just an idiot trying to spam.

They are using new E-mail address announcement apps to push their messages out, and this guy seems to just be pasting all of his content into the subject.  He could be using a program that exploits multiple sites, and this one may not provide for adding content to the body, or they may have redesigned their app to only allow subject customization after finding that they were exploited, and some automatic form filling software may be inadvertently adding this to the Subject line instead now.

If you want to filter for this, I would filter for the body text, "I have a new email address!" and match that to the source IP, and that will effectively block all such announcements from btinternet.com.  I would imagine that there is very little chance of ever blocking a legitimate announcement from them going to your server.

This shouldn't be a long-standing pattern since it clearly is totally ineffective.
