I added subscriptions to these debian mailing lists in recent weeks: debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org debian-testing-requ...@lists.debian.org debian-multimedia-requ...@lists.debian.org
Now I'm getting lots of bug mail with large attachments, so I want to unsubscribe from only whichever list is causing this bug mail. NAICT the unwanted mails only report from ow...@bugs.debian.org. If there's anything in the complete message headers to have triggered their being sent to me, I'm not seeing it.
They are sent to the lists because those are the "Maintainers" of packages and thus receive mail from the Debian BTS.
Can anyone tell what I should be looking for or where to go to get these stopped please?
The easiest way is to unsubscribe at least from debian-boot since this list receives a lot of bug mails as you can see for yourself[1].
Lots of mails doesn't bother me. It's the sizes that do, 40k, 60k, 90k seem to be routine. It seems they are noticeably slowing down my email program's handling of its mbox files.
