Tristan is absolutely right, however this may be more of a case of
carelessness than anything else (like something malicious, which it could
be, but let's err on the side of careless). Linkedin has a feature where you
can add everyone on your mailing list, which in the first place is a bad
idea but, alas, something some people who should know better consistently
do.
Needless to say, you don't want to do that because addresses like
fedora-ambassadors-list(a)redhat.com becomes an "invitee."
Assuming this is an honest mistake and not something malicious, thanks
Tristan for reminding everyone about the list rules, and for those using
social networking sites, be careful about who you add.
I agree with your thoughts Larry.
We have to make a distinction between Spam/Flame and carelessness: I
know the effect is the same (if no worse, especially if you are
following a lot of lists) but we can't use enforcing policy.
I'm not a Mailing Lists Management expert, maybe we can set up a
filter for these email.
