Not that well, given that this strange stuff gets through since
weeks although it could be easily recognized by the peculiar URL,
which you quoted, too.

No mail of this pattern gets through on any mailing list where i am
subscribed. It seems to be a unique annoyance here on debian-user.

The responses do not stem from list subscribers. It is quite clear that
most replies are boiler plate texts. Open question is whether there are
humans who press a Go-Away button on their smart phones or whether these
replies are part of the spam scheme.
After all, none of the alleged original mails went through the list.
We only see alleged replies.

Interesting observation, indeed.
Stretch was announced june 17.
I became curious on juli 8. The oldest message i inspected in the archives
was of juli 4:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/07/msg00235.html
My mail of juli 8
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/07/msg00511.html
received a few replies with various theories why this might happen.
Since yesterday the spam drizzle seems to increase again.
Have a nice day :)
