You saying that made me realize it might be a good time to go back and
remind myself what lists are available. For anyone else interested,
they're found here:
https://lists.debian.org/completeindex.html
For newcomers to that feature, there's a *no pain*, one click
accomplishes the task "Report as s p am* button on the right top
corner of each message in case you find anything that slipped through
filters.
