I checked the opensolaris-code posting, and Pradeep Kumar does
appear to
signed up for that list (though I'm surprised that Mailman let it
through).
Well, but he's subscribed from a gmail account, not facebook. Hrm,
it's entirely possible I pressed the wrong button this morning when I
was doing my spam sweep, but I think I would have caught that one so I
need to dig a bit as to why it passed through to the list.

Could we block invitation email, rather than the entire domain? Or at
least block only facebookmail.com, not facebook.com? I wouldn't
want to
discourage Facebook (the company) from using OpenSolaris or
participating in the community.
There's one subscriber from facebook.com. Do they offer email accounts
to their members? I was under the impression it was mostly teenagers
and such looking for friends, not free software.
Here are a couple suggestions for things we could look for to identify
invitation email:
- From: matches "invite\[email protected]"
- presence of X-Facebook-Notify header
Yeah, I could punt the invite stuff as there aren't any personal
accounts on the mail system so I can't think of any circumstance where
that'd be an appropriate bit of mail.
