If it's from a legitimate company in American jurisdiction they are legally obligated to stop sending emails if you click unsubscribe. I suppose that piece of information has some nonzero value that you are giving up in exchange to not be contacted by that company.
If you filter just a single address that address can change. If you filter their domain you might lose legitimate correspondence.
- danaris 7y agoI’ve had several groupings of unsolicited marketing emails over the years where I’ve clicked Unsubscribe and ended up on what’s very clearly a Totally Not That Email List, Honest...but it’s advertising the same things, in the same way, just from a slightly different email and possibly different company name. They have all been American in origin.
- ses1984 7y agoYou can complain under the CAN-SPAM Act.
- guitarbill 7y agoIt's so asymmetrical though. The amount of effort it takes to spam someone is vastly lower than a complaint. What would be great is a third-party site where you can somehow document/log unsubscribe requests. Then, if the company still spams you, document that. A few hundred users is pretty good proof, and the company can't just argue a glitch. It'd pay for that.
- robin_reala 7y agoEasy enough to fix: use a unique address for a company, unsubscribe, then take the related company to court later. Works even better in a GDPR location.
- danaris 7y agoRight; with my unlimited resources, time, and understanding of the legal system. I mean, I'd love to be able to, but do you think I'd even be able to determine what the company's actual address is?
