I don't see any relationship at all. The key word in the lawsuit,
and in the judge's opinion, is "unsolicited". Neither you, nor I,
nor other list managers (I hope), will be sending unsolicited mail
to Intel or anywhere else. If Intel, speaking through one of its
employee accountholders, requests mail from a mailing list, you
cannot be charged with sending unsolicited mail. Whether that mail
is an appropriate use of their systems is between Intel management
and the employee, but if it is solicited, that does not affect you.
