Usually this is the result of "helpful" services that offer to read your
address book and "add your friends" ... unfortunately the proper
solution would be for address books to distinguish between mailing lists
and individual addresses, and these services to only add the latter. In
the meantime, I think the best solution would be to add specific checks
for known "annoying" things like LinkedIn to spamassassin or the like on
the list servers.
A problem here is to allow legitimate messages referring to
linkedin|facebook|myspace|other social networking sites and
RHEL|Fedora|other relevant list/product. If these sites have standard
subject lines, as this appears to be, then those could be filtered out
as they appear.
I don't have a better solution than ensuring people see that this
misconduct isn't acceptable.
Since my involvement with Fedora is just on a list or two and nobody
sensibly would think I speak for the project or any of its affiliates, I
don't feel any great need to exemplify the very epitome of politeness.
A few howls of derision are probably sufficient warning.
