Spam with a link to the repository

[kinow]

Hi.

Not sure if the email I received is legit or not, but it was reported to GitHub already as spam. I got a cold email to a corporate email advertising this repository. It was flagged by Thunderbird. Our policy is to report it to internal IT to block the sender and start filtering that as Spam (i.e. if the idea was to promote the app, that is probably going to backfire).

Sorry for the issue. I didn't find Discussion and didn't have time to dig for the email of the maintainer. If the email was really a cold email for this repository, spamming others and then telling them you will respect and remove emails is still not OK.

This looks genuinely useful, but I'm hesitant to try it because remote access is inherently a sensitive thing to do, security-wise, and the author used spam to get the word out. (If it was just one of those two things, I might try it.)

Incidentally, GMail identified the email as spam.
