Hey, let's use some intelligence here. I receive hundreds of job-apps
every month, because my email-ID is pretty much public domain thanks to my
writing. This time of the year is especially application-filled.

When someone has a subject line like "Fwd: Re: Application for the post
Java developer", it means that he has sent this message once to someone,
then sends them, one by one, to various others (note the FWD). Look at the
headers - do you see any mass addresses or any other indications of mass
mail? And it is a forward by the same person whose resume appears in the
mail.

This post to LIG was intentional. And hence the guy knew what he was doing
and he still did it.

That's spam.
