I have remarked a large increase as well. And they are coming from all over
the world( Japan, Turkey, Latvia, Italy, Netherlands etc.) and from
different addresses that the onslaught I received earlier.

Subject: [Full-Disclosure] lots and lots and lots of swen?

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".
