Eligius gives out a payout of 25 BTC each time a block is found by the pool. Everything that's over that 25 BTC (tx fees) funds the server.
Are you posting this in the correct thread? What does his pool keeping the fees have to do with anything?

It's not really a problem there were just transactions sending .00000001 outputs all to the same address to several addresses.
This was strange because it puts more data in the block chain, and Luke Jr., who started this pool, hates these .00000001 transactions.
Since this block I believe some of these outputs have been consolidated into larger outputs. Maybe the pool Eligius is just taking "unspendable" outputs and over time turning them into spendable ones again. Maybe they're doing it for a fee. I don't see a problem here.
At first I thought that this pool was trying to bloat the blockchain, maybe to prove the point that the blockchain shouldn't bloat, but I do not think it's malicious now.

The single satoshi transactions do not have transaction fees on them. It is pretty interesting.
The pool must have included those transactions without worrying about the rules.

I don't understand... What's the problem?
Submitted for your approval. The block
https://blockchain.info/block-index/357198/000000000000033818fb20338be1fe1b223f7018bdad8ee4cea5f396cf5523e8
has many transactions that send one satoshi to another address. The block is so big it's just under the 500k new soft limit.
I know this block was found by the Eligius pool because a payout address 17JMTVdHdCqu5WcU1cWeye83JQwXoHZCSm for the newly generated coins is active at Eligius. http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/17JMTVdHdCqu5WcU1cWeye83JQwXoHZCSm
You can even mach up the last payout with the payout in block 357198.
This is a strange thing to happen for a pool so concerned about block chain bloat.
