On one of the mailing<br> list I admin I had to actually look for <a href="http://mail.twitter.com" target="_blank">mail.twitter.com</a> in teh mail<br> headers and block at the smtp level.<br>  Problem is these social networking websites create a mail message<br> with From address set to the senders email account, like in case of<br> this thread, the from address is set to gopi.daiict at gmail dot com,<br> which is OP personal email id. So, the mailman filters which block<br> @<a href="http://twitter.com" target="_blank">twitter.com</a> id will never work.<br>  Since we are discussing the issue of moderating/banning the OP, I<br> will like to raise one more point. Some social networking sites like<br> <a href="http://yaari.com" target="_blank">yaari.com</a> will send automated email until the receiver joins the site.<br> In such a situation, the user has no mistake (accept for giving away<br> access to his email account first time), infact <a href="http://yaari.com" target="_blank">yaari.com</a> has no<br> setting to disable repeated mailing and any attempt to communicate<br> with the webmaster/PR/manager was directed to /dev/null. So I would<br> request the mail admins to work on blocking emails from the social<br> networking websites to <a href="http://lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">lists.ubuntu.com</a> at smtp level.<br> <div class="Ih2E3d"><br> regards<br> VK<br> --<br> The hidden harmony is better than the obvious!!<br> <br> --<br> </div><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c">ubuntu-in mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in</a><br> </div></div></blockquote></div><br>
