To returnpath's credit, it appears that the

of the first complaint.
I have sent linkedin spam to returnpath, to their APPROVED reporting
email address, which is certificat...@returnpath.net for almost two years.
This spam had no remove links, no unsubscription information, and the
only way to stop spam from the specific spammer who used linked in, was
to sign up for linked in, agree to their terms (which allowed people to
spam you). and, return path argued with me for months and months,
telling me that it wasn't spam, that I signed up for it (but could not
prove it) and that it was 'transactional email' (since I had signed up
for it.. which I hadn't)
and, for linked in, all they needed, to keep me from complaining, was a
link like twitter had: 'report this as abuse', AND, 'I never want to
hear from linked in about anything, ever again', and for US CAN-SPAM
compliance, the full, physical address of the spammer.
