User lunex_321 in the AUR mailing list throwing around N word

I did not where to post it since I am not familiar with how to post in the AUR mailing list so I thought I post it. I am in the AUR mailing list and an extremely suspicious user by the name of lunex_321 is sending emails in the mailing and  asking if you are not the N word to join some shady discord channel. So far he has sent 3 emails with the same content I describe. I thought this behavior is not appropriate so that I let someone know. To be honest, I am a bit surprised how someone like that would join the AUR mailing list specifically. I kindly request someone to take action and let know if I need to contact or post somewhere else so that an action can be taken immediately.

Thanks for reading.

I am also in the list and I have also received those emails. But the archives do not show a record of this. Maybe moderator action was taken?

Thanks for letting me know. The last email I received from that user was around 45 minutes ago.

I have deleted the offending mails from the list archives and blocked the users. All of the affected lists currently also have emergency moderation enabled in case the same spammer/troll uses different accounts.
