The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Uhhmmm... I don't have those permissions for /var/spool/mail in my
system:

zeus:~$ ls -dl /var/spool/mail
drwxrwsr-x  3 root    mail   2048 Dec  6 08:09   /var/spool/mail/

Also, files /var/spool/mail are readable by owner and group only, and
since the sticky bit is set for group for /var/spool/mail, the group
of all files is mail. See my mailbox:

zeus:~$ ls -l /var/spool/mail/eparis
-rw------- 1 eparis  mail 17330 Dec  6 06:19 /var/spool/mail/eparis

(I don't know why some files are rw-rw----, though, but that should be
harmless).
