I'm just curious, has anybody else noticed a marked increase in the amount of swen mailings received? When swen first appeared, I got about 4 or 5 of them each day for about a week, then they tapered off to about once a week. ...until the last 60 hours, during which time I have receieved no less than 94 mails. I took a look at several of the headers, and they all are pointed directly at me and not getting forwarded from any mailing list servers. I don't use this address for anything besides mailing lists, anyway... The distibution between "critical update" type and "undeliverable message" type is about 50% each way. The only slightly-irregular thing I'd done with this address before the swen flooding was a post to the debian-user mailing list (about 3 hours before the deluge), but I don't really know if that relates because I've posted on debian-user several times over the past couple months without this happening. And to think the first time I saw a swen mail I thought it was "clever". :) -Corey _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
