> For the others, I make a good faith effort to unsubscribe, but a small one. They get about ten seconds for me to find the unsubscribe link, otherwise they get reported as spam. I do not have any more the patience for that. If I am actually a customer of the company, I might use the unsubscribe link. If not, in my email program (claws-mail) it is two clicks to automatically delete all mails from that address. I get regularly mails from spammy recruiters who obviously scrape CVs and belong in this category. To not waste bandwidth, I put black-listed addresses also into a blacklist which is used on the server side by mail email provider. It would be neat if email clients did support that feature. Also, there are definitely large organisations which when you unsubscribe from their list, they will simply send spam from dozens of other mail addresses. IEEE is the worst I've seen.
