I find this logic similar to refusing sale of a personal weapon (read: handgun) because it may be used to commit a crime.
An interesting point, and one I accept (for the record, I'm strongly anti-gun control). However, I do think that if a man walks into a gun shop with a murderous gleam in his eye and says "I want the cheapest thing that can kill someone", the seller should think twice about helping him with a purchase.

In this case, the AM seems to have a spammer's gleam in his eye. He has a list of thousands of users, but is posting an error log line from at most a couple hours before the post, which suggests that either (a) he's just started this mailing, in which case he shouldn't have that many people yet or (b) he's just started being blocked by Yahoo, presumably for a good reason.
