which is how you alert them to spams like this.
But this probably is not really spam. LinkedIn asks you to send a
copy of your addressbook to them to import to add all of your contacts
so that you can see who else you already know is on the service. They
offhandedly mention that they will check those people who are not
already matched... neglecting to mention that they will do this by
sending everyone in your addressbook a message.
So, the list was in the addressbook, and the first-name field has the
word "Mac" in it.
