Eek, I hope not. That would make me and anyone else who's ever written a form-mailer or similar with "[email protected]" or "From: [email protected]" guilty of wire fraud.

I'm a mail provider. I'd like to, but the reality is that a lot of people are on LinkedIn on purpose, and it would be wrong for me to blackhole them just because I don't like them. Fortunately, anybody on my mail system that doesn't like LinkedIn can easily adjust their own SpamAssassin settings right from the webmail interface.
