They're sent out automatically from the LinkedIn (or whoever) system
with consent of the named sender. It usually happens with people
selecting to "invite [their] friends" and giving the site access to
their email's address book. Combined that with webmail usual tactic
automatically of saving all incoming and outgoing email addresses.
I thought some rule was going to be added to automatically
reject/blackhole such emails?
