What do you mean exactly by "spurious"?
They had no apparent logical relation to why I subscribed to
debian-...@lists.debian.org .
Are any of those messages present in the list archives?
ALL are in archives.
https://lists.debian.org/debian-www/2025/03/threads.html
Can you point to a specific one?
Not necessary. See below.
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
Further investigation suggests a human *explicitly* sent all "desirable"
emails to debian-...@lists.debian.org .
I.E. When SeaMonkey displays header content onscreen, To: *OR* Cc:
contains "debian-...@lists.debian.org".
No "spurious" email has that in *EITHER* of those fields.
[I don't know enough about email mechanics to understand how the
"spurious" emails do get sent by some automatic mechanism.]
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).
Thanks.
