This is a good idea but it requires some skill. On one of the mailing list I admin I had to actually look for mail.twitter.com in teh mail headers and block at the smtp level. Problem is these social networking websites create a mail message with From address set to the senders email account, like in case of this thread, the from address is set to gopi.daiict at gmail dot com, which is OP personal email id. So, the mailman filters which block @twitter.com id will never work. Since we are discussing the issue of moderating/banning the OP, I will like to raise one more point. Some social networking sites like yaari.com will send automated email until the receiver joins the site. In such a situation, the user has no mistake (accept for giving away access to his email account first time), infact yaari.com has no setting to disable repeated mailing and any attempt to communicate with the webmaster/PR/manager was directed to /dev/null. So I would request the mail admins to work on blocking emails from the social networking websites to lists.ubuntu.com at smtp level. regards VK -- The hidden harmony is better than the obvious!! -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
