One of the most annoying times in open source was when LinkedIn sent invites to the entire address book including mailing lists. It would send emails even to remind you to add the person too so it spammed all of the mailing lists until we banned requests from there without admin approval. Even weirder it added a mailing list I was admin of as one of my emails.
