in my case, i didn't complain until a cron job at facebook resent this "invitation" because i hadn't answered it. the initial e-mail, coming as it does from facebook's web client, is borderline. subsequent reminders are clearly just spam. note that all of this crap comes to addresses i've never used for personal correspondance, and are clearly scraped out of the facebook-user's address book, and got there as a result of that user's other e-mail clients doing auto-scrape from mailing list postings. this makes facebook a spammer, textbook. opt-out isn't an exemption, no matter whether i can opt out by web or by e-mail. opt-out is 100% spam. facebook has no relationship with me and so they can't claim acquaintance as an exemption either. when they send me mail because one of their users clicks "add buddy" that's borderline. when they send me followup mail because i didn't answer, then that is spam, 100%, and inarguably so. -- Paul Vixie KI6YSY _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
