Actually, clicking the "unsubscribe" link just tells the spammer that there's a live email address at the other end...and they will double the amount of spam they send to you.

Just find where they're hosted and report to their hosts upstream provider. Nothing gets a hosts attention like someone pulling their plug, lol.

If it's not truly SPAM, but just email marketing (with name, address, phone, remove link and no fake headers), then use the remove link IMO.

I second this. Cloudmark SpamNet does a kick ass job of catching spam.

Really? You guys are all truly antispam?

What do you think keeps this biz going???

------------------------------------------------------


I am not 'prospam' ... but I have come to learn

that a large majority of the signups for the

MAJOR adult sponsors on this board come from

spam.


Isn't that a mind fucker?
