I've just started sending out over 750,000 emails to folks who are eligible to vote in our Wikimedia Referendum. I've learned from past mailouts in trying to exclude more bots, multiple accounts and folks who've already voted. However, if you receive an email which doesn't apply to you (for example, if you're not eligible to vote, or you've requested to be excluded from such mailouts), or if there's a problem with the email that you receive (for example, it's in the wrong language), I've set up a page [1] where you can report it. Remember that you can always opt out from all future mailings [2].
I'm hoping that having a central page for this information will help in investigating the issues associated with errant mail, and allow future mail to be better targetted.
Thanks a lot for your help,

While it is not a big deal for me to get six emails (including one in Polish) instead of once, I want to say that I already added pattern for my bot accounts at the Wikimedia nomail list and it existed at Friday morning there, at least [1].
