I asked for one a couple months ago, but it doesn't appear anything's
been done.
regards, tom lane
What would you like me to filter it based on? Subject contains the word LinkedIn? The problem is the From/To lines don't reference it, since they (at the least the ones I'd been looking at) come from the user inviting, not from linked in :( Suggest a filter, I'll implement it ...

The variants I've seen areSubject: Invitation to connect on LinkedInSubject: <so and so> wants to stay in touch on
LinkedIn
If we could block those I think we'd be in good shape. Occasionally
we get some non-English variants, likeSubject: [ADMIN] Convite para se conectar no LinkedIn
but there haven't been enough of those to justify a filter IMO.

Actually, a bit of looking in my spam logs suggests that the best thing
would be to filter on headers that look like this:
X-LinkedIn-fbl: n-qcUUOoZC7xu6Osomtu7Puw6GhuWOdF6OrNGgqwO-6rdrXq5VwXwcd9i62mpE
X-LinkedIn-fbl: vq4Hn2B7IUfSDhzU_lQrCa-TZG-5pr8eMv_x1ajZoLQ5VeukFJ
X-LinkedIn-fbl: XWulUW6uONtHOdVFlLwD6W7gxeV-Ntn4W0rkYWXcSKh-cwWFBl
They seem to put that into all the variants...

'k, should be in place now ... do you want messages with that header outright rejected, or to go through a moderator?

I can't think of any situation where X-LinkedIn-fbl: would appear in
ordinary email, but who knows.

Well, we have asked for this several times, and if you had trouble last time getting a pattern, you should have told us rather than just ignoring the request. In this case, you have not indicated you saw Tom's pattern (until now), and you still have not told us if you have added the filter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > On Thu, 12 Aug 2010, Bruce Momjian wrote: > > > Marc G.

Tom sent it at 01:00 am ... I was long off line at that time 2.
