I don't think that's what this is. Form spam takes advantage of
poorly-coded mail/contact forms and uses them to send mail to recipients
other than those intended by the form designer.

What's happening here is that the spammer is running their own code
(downloaded into /tmp) to send the mail, a rather more serious
situation.
