How do I stop these filthy little bitches?
Click that fucking unsub link and unsub "[email protected]" (uce being unsolicited commercial email) then reply and CC the mail to "[email protected] ; admin@sponsorhost ; spam@sponsorhost ; abuse@sponsorhost" with a nasty little message.

I've noticed there is one hell of a lot less recurring spams coming in my box nowadays.. i dont know if the ftc does anything, or the sponsors are killing them, or the spammer just gets scared when he sees the email's i CC them back to, but it works.

the bonus is if that unsubscribe link is just confirming emails/harvester [email protected] is the *last* fucking email they want.

It makes my day when i do that.
