Most likely, George was complaining about his overabundance of email 
messages from the list, and not true spam. This is a frequent situation 
when people don't know - or remember - how to unsubscribe from it.

He even asked "how I can unsubscribe in order to prevent all the e-mails." 
That info is in every message he gets: 
<mailto:support-seamonkey-requ...@lists.mozilla.org?subject=unsubscribe>
