I sent an unsubscribe request. Why Linkedin makes this so difficult, is beyond me. They should just put an unsubscribe link in the email like everyone else does. On 1/2/13 5:25 AM, JP Viljoen wrote:

I once managed to corner someone at Linked-In about these types of mails, and the short version of their response, "This is how we do it, deal with it." Needless to say, I'm starting to get a little annoyed with this behavior as well. -- Brielle Bruns The Summit Open Source Development Group http://www.sosdg.org / http://www.ahbl.org

Put eBay on the list of "annoying" as well. Somebody put my Gmail address in their eBay account before Christmas, and there is no way for me to stop getting their emails about bids, closed auctions, shipping, etc. There is no unsubscribe or "wrong address" link, I can't log in to the account to change it, and there is no email contact I see for eBay if you don't have an account. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
Isn't this what verification emails are meant to curb? I could have sworn LinkedIn made you verify your email before you can play.
From my Galaxy Note II, please excuse any mistakes.

This isn't new. It's been LinkedIn's practice since approximately forever to get its users to surrender their address books and then to spam [1] every address in them. The fix is simple: block linkedin.com at the MTA. [2] ---rsk [1] It's unsolicited bulk email, therefore spam. We could argue about who's responsible for the spam, and a fair case can be made that those giving up their address books bear some culpability for it...but since it comes from LinkedIn's domain and LinkedIn's mail servers and LinkedIn's network and LinkedIn's software (which is expressly designed to do this very thing), I think it's fair to say that it's LinkedIn's spam. [2] If you don't want to do this on all mail servers, it should definitely be done on those hosting mailing lists, either at the MTA or in the mailing list software's configuration.

If you're not a user of linkedin, you can stop this by sending an email to linkedin_support@cs.linkedin.com and asking them to put you on their "do not contact" list. Nick

Out of curiousity... how did member@linkedin.com get subscribed to nanog and, if it isn't, how did the message from member@linkedin.com make it to the list? Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.

Whatever happened to ' Only humans who bothered to read the directions and subscribed to intentionally separate NANOG-POST@ mailing list ' can post ? http://www.nanog.org/mailinglist/mailarchives/old_archive/1997-12/msg00012.h... Seems like someone's broke something since
