What is InMail™ Feedback?

InMail Feedback is a reputation system determined by recipients’ responses to senders’ InMails. LinkedIn’s screening technology uses InMail Feedback and other information to determine if an InMail comes from a reputable sender. We only notify you about InMails received from senders with whose InMail Feedback is 3 stars or better, but if you want to be notified about every InMail, or to not receive any notifications, you can change your Contact Settings.
