The problem with that solution (it would work right now as only one
person is sending these kinds of mail) is that it doesn't address the
boxbe.com social (viral) email group problem. I tried a polite email to
the person whose boxbe.com mail 'invitation to join' came my way.  It
was returned with yet another offer to join boxbe.com which acts as a
filtering intermediary for each of their clients.  It reminded me of
the timie (telling stupid tales of myself now) when I set up
auto-responses on two mail accounts and then used one to send mail to
the other.  WHEW!  You must join boxbe.com just to email their members
but it still uses the member eddress, not a boxbe.com eddress (although
it can, I understand).
I do believe that it is an innocent thing on the part of the member
sending the mails and that he/she would be glad to stop if the facts
about this email spam were known.  Unfortunately, one can't get
through to a member without joining the organization, an act which I am
unwilling to perform.

I can and might but it is an inelegant solution at best.
