Since the beginning of February I've been receiving what I consider spurious emails.

What do you mean exactly by "spurious"?

That I did not associate them to be related to my needs/desires/expectations [ When posting I was unsure if "spurious" was best term - thus the quotation marks in my post.].

Are any of those messages present in the list archives?

https://lists.debian.org/debian-www/2025/03/threads.html

Yes - MANY. I did not check all.


Can you point to a specific one?

I could, but you have set me on the right diagnostic track.
My folder for receiving posts to "debian-...@lists.debian.org" mailing list has a filter set to:
  To or Cc      Contains    debian-...@lists.debian.org


I've set up a filter to send them to a separate sub-directory.
The filter detects either of 2 conditions:
   From,To,Cc or Bcc    Contains    bugs.debian.org
             *OR*
   To            Contains    www-master.debian.org


The only change to my setup {to best of my memory} was subscribing to the "debian-...@lists.debian.org" mailing list.

In such case, you should better use "List-Id", not To, From or Cc.
(Also: Bcc will never work by definition, unless you apply the filters
to messages in your own Sent folder).

"List-Id" is not an option in setting up filters in SeaMonkey.
That mailing list evidently has a wider scope than what I understood from its description when I subscribed ;/

https://lists.debian.org/debian-www/ says in part:
Posting address: debian-...@lists.debian.org

All of the posts explicitly sent to that address seemed to match my understanding of the list's purpose. I'll have to look at the formal list archives in detail to see if I've missed anything of interest.


Thank you.
