Hmmm... like many other vendors, we "spam" a number of mailing lists 
(FD, bugtraq (when they feel like putting new messages through), and 
our own security-announce list).  Do you rant at Gentoo, Debian, 
Ubuntu... (the list goes on) as well?

Anyways, you seem to be a moderately intelligent person so why don't 
you setup a filter in sylpheed to send all mail from 
security@...ux-mandrake.com to /dev/null?  Should be pretty 
straightforward.  That way you don't have to get "nerved" and the 
people who do appreciate the advisories can continue to receive them.

If the list owners asked us to stop, we would respectfully do it.  But, 
since you're asking, I think I'll just leave it up to you to figure out 
how to filter mail (it's a fairly amazing concept once you get it 
figured out).
