Somebody didn't use their spam program properly

Given what appears here, somebody seems to be using an automated spam 
generation program to try and create some kind of degree mill.  However, they 
don't seem to be reading the directions properly, and have left the "instructions to 
the user" in the message that they created.  I have put the whole thing in, for 
those interested:

[T]his was *magical*.  Ordinary men had dreamed it up and put it
together, building towers on rafts in swamps and across the
frozen spines of mountains. [...] They hadn't dreamed, in the way
people usually used the word, but they'd imagined a different
world, and bent metal around it.  And out of all the sweat and
swearing and mathematics had come this ... thing, dropping words
across the world as softly as starlight. - `Going Postal,' Pratchett
