This seems to me to be an advertisement for commercial services that was
sent to a mailing list that is operated by a nonprofit and is intended for
MediaWiki system administrators. The description if the mailing list is
"This is a multilingual list for help/support with running/configuring
MediaWiki. It is intended for people who are running wikis with the
MediaWiki software and for announcements of new versions, bug fixes, and
security issues." It seems to me that advertising commercial services here
is well outside of the intended purposes of this list, and is a misuse of
Wikimedia Foundation resources.
