If linkedin sends that many messages, it can insert headers that would avoid this behaviour. List admins can and should prevent resending of unwelcome messages (spam) to lists. But no list admins can know all kinds of invitations and bulk/automated messages to fill their filters with. I think that anyone sending invites and similar messages should make every possible effort to avoid his messages being broadcaster over the internet etc. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uh...@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
