For me, Step 1 is using their Unsubscribe option.
If I get another message from them, Step 2 is to setup a mail rule to put everything from their company into the Junk folder.
- eropple 6y agoToo much work, tbh. It's my mailbox, not theirs.
- inshadows 6y agoRight. Unsolicited email is spam and marking it as such is proper way to deal with it.
- progval 6y agoI have another step between 1 and 2: send a mail to the abuse contact of their AS. You can do it either manually, or with a tool like https://www.spamcop.net/ https://www.spamcop.net/ . Sometimes it works (but rarely).
- loeg 6y agoI only do step 1 if I actually consented to subscribe to a list. If the sender just added me to their list without consent? Straight to spam.
- johannes1234321 6y agoWith "suspicious" sources step 1 confirms the address to them, which allows them to see it. Delaying step two requires book keeping. Immediately blocking is low effort with effect. In few cases, where senders seem to be "proper" companies I do a GDPR request. Sometimes they provide valuable information about address brokers etc.
