yep i would try to build a clamav logical signature, but then its me 
that would be unsubscribed, not the invite spammers, i begin to think i 
dont need linkedin anymore

linkedin even have a ipv6 only mx record, damm, gives warning in every 
postfix its a no go

its a error to make multiple mx hostnames, there should only be one mx 
pr destinatiion, unless its one of them is a backup mx

if three is dual stacked it should be all in one mx, not multiple, while 
this should only be enforced while not all hostnames is dual stacked ip

workaround for linkedin could be to have all mx be dual stacked or add 
another host ip from another mx host so all is stillo dual stacked not 
neseserly on hardware host pr mx hostname

with gmail one does not notice problems, that does not mean there is 
none, thats why i keep my own problems with gentoo :)
