I'm posting this reply from my mobile, so i have to top post.. My apologies for that.. I guess this entire invite your contacts thing has become inevitable.. I dont know about the others, but in many mailing lists, this is now too common.. I've gotten used to this and i let it go.. Even worse i get invites to services i've already subscribed to or have signed up to.. My earlier suggestion was to block emails at the list level itself.. You only learn by experience.. So why not start adding these services to blocking list? I know for a fact that PHP mail does what most of these services do.. Sending emails using the user's email id.. From the headers you can know weather it was sent from an ISP or not.. Why not try stopping this? Anyone in to build this hack? Else the only solution is to let it go by ignoring these emails.. Most of them are unintentional spam! Or is there a mechanism to block and moderate certain keywords? That would also make a simple filter.. Meaning, block emails which contain "invite","twitter", "minglebox" and more..
