these invites just keep coming.
Normally, if you use SPF records to check incoming mail, then that
stops this kind of indirect mail. A mail server _can_ set a "From:"
header to anything but its "From " header should be a domain it is
authorised to serve. (The analogue is the "sender address" versus the
"post-office stamp" --- faking the latter is a criminal offence!).
any user spamming the list with invites from yaari / hi-5 whatever shall be
immediately unsubscribed and also banned from subscribing in future - yes / no
I think Akarsh and Parthan have made some valid points --- so "no" is
my response.
Kapil.
