Yea I noticed an increase, but this is the first time it happened to
my spam account, which is different from my list supplied address.
You think spammers would know a little bit about the addresses they
forge. But then again what they do makes no sense, I guess that is
what spam filters are for. I just feel bad for Debian in general,
cause someone might be mistaken, and really think it is from Debian.
Or heaven forbid, say a problem arose and Debian decided to email
alerts and people ignored them due to forged headers. I know it in
very unlikely that Debian would do this, but I just despise these
tactics, and the people who are putting Debian in a bad light.
