Probably because addresses exist in a user's mailbox they get spammed by Twitter with an invite. That's social networks spam. Your friends are happy to upload their address book to those sites so that you can be spammed. :-) If you are running mailing lists, don't whitelist those domains. That also applies if you don't want to be spammed by those domains. Regards, -sm

Because the only way to get a message from twitter is to 1) have an account on twitter 2) have someone who YOU ARE FOLLOWING send a direct message to you 3) have Twitter set to send Direct messages to you via email. No one can send you a direct message unless you follow them, so you have 'opted-in' to receive their messages. If they are spammers, UNFOLLOW them. Incorrect. I don't follow anyone on twitter. Went to their web site for the first time last week to look for their complaint address. Whether you want the message or not, it is not spam. If you don't want these messages, disable the emailing in your twitter account. I can't. I don't have a twitter account. So, since twitter can send email to someone without a twitter account, its spam. Since I can't opt out without an account, its spam. If twitter allows people to forge email address when you sign up, without confirmed opt in, its spam. Since it doesn't include the full physical address of the sender, its also a violation of federal (you) can-spam laws. -- Michael Scheidell, CTO |SECNAP Network Security Finalist 2009 Network Products Guide Hot Companies FreeBSD SpamAssassin Ports maintainer _ This email has been scanned and certified safe by SpammerTrap(r).
