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.
