Do the emails have an unsubscribe link or any instructions on how to be removed from the list?

Is the receipt of such emails unbearable? If so, maybe delete them as they come in. Or set up a filter.



Yes, and I followed the instructions last time. I even went to their web site and double checked that the option not to receive emails was already set.

They've sent me another one anyway.

And no, they're not unbearable. I'm just pissed off and angry that they can so flagrantly ignore a customer's wishes and not get spanked for it. And I don't have a choice as to where to go, because they have a monopoly.


What you could do is find a maximum of valid addresses for their domain name, and setup an auto-responder with a nice complaining message sent to the whole list. Each spam you receive will then trigger a payload. They should get tired of this before you do :)
