    Whether it is iOS specific or not (apparently it is, at least for

    Apparently it is not a hoax, so the question remains, for those of
    us who do not have the enterprise tools to lock down iPhones and
    iPads, what is the best/most reliable way to simply block LinkedIn
    from being able to successfully connect to the SMTP server?


According to the technical description, they're modifying your inbound email as you fetch it from your IMAP server, not your outbound email.

Not according to this (from the second paragraph of the linked article):

"Once you install the Intro app, all of your emails, both sent and received, are transmitted via LinkedIn's servers. LinkedIn is forcing all your IMAP and SMTP data through their own servers and then analyzing and scraping your emails for data pertaining to...whatever they feel like."

BOTH IMAP and SMTP...

Maybe the article is wrong?
