A problem here is to allow legitimate messages referring to
linkedin|facebook|myspace|other social networking sites and
RHEL|Fedora|other relevant list/product. If these sites have standard
subject lines, as this appears to be, then those could be filtered out
as they appear.
I don't have a better solution than ensuring people see that this
misconduct isn't acceptable.
Since my involvement with Fedora is just on a list or two and nobody
sensibly would think I speak for the project or any of its affiliates, I
don't feel any great need to exemplify the very epitome of politeness.
A few howls of derision are probably sufficient warning.
