as far as I know, linkedin mail comes from linkedin domains, and has
valid DKIM sigs.
Yep, I'm pretty certain of that too. I think I have a rule that scores
on coming from linkedin, but without verified dkim signature.

now the question is, if we know it's an linkedin invitation, if we need to
verify DKIM at all ;)

depends on your users.
if it's your own hobby mail system, you can block linkedin, facebook,
twitter, hotmail, yahoo, ... etc. nobody will complain ;-p
I mean, if someone doesn't wish to receive linkedin invitations, (s)he does
not need to check them for DKIM ...
Matus, stop this. you know all that stuff. we do need to accept mail
from linkedin, facebook, hotmail, yahoo, aol, ... mail service is a
service. if your users want mail from these networks, you can't say no.
can you? (if so, happy guy!).

the sample posted by Michelle came to her via a debian list. debian
lists are open (no subscription required) and thus attract a lot of
spam.

they are UBE, I'm not sure if that means spam to you...
if we're talking about messages sent by/via debian lists, they are not
unsollicited. you only receive them if you subscribe to debian lists.
I don't think anyone subscribes to debian lists to receive LinkedIn (and
other) invitations. Debian lists also aren't made to receive and distribute
that kind of mail.
I don't think anyone subscribes to a list to receive all the messages
relayed by the list. and this applies to _this_ list.
what I mean is that you can't complain to j...@example.com because his
unwanted messages get past a list. I applaud to debian lists being still
open, but I do understand that this also means a lot of junk. and
linkedin isn't really the primary spammer of debian lists.
if we're about invitations received directly from linkedin, then they
are not necessarily bulk nor necessarily unsollicited. it would be
better to give real examples (evidence) so that we can talk about the
same thing.
I'd say that a single invitation is never bulk, but such invitations
globally are. And if they all were solicited, I think we would not discuss
this problem here.
so let's take this differently. did you receive spam from linkedin? how
much? can you show evidence?
