That gets you blacklisted on email service providers so you risk missing order confirmations etc.

  Pretty sure sending only legitimely useful emails to customers will not get any vendor blacklisted.

    You’re sure that Google’s vast completely automated system for determining which senders should be blacklisted has zero false positives?

      It's alright though, because senders who get blacklisted will act swiftly to get authorized again.

  You mean it gets the spammer blacklisted so they risk being unable to contact me. I've actually pinged a couple of services to let them know that spamming me is a security vulnerability, because they loose their ability to contact me.

    The thing is you'll be the one inconvenienced. Let's say you often buy on Amazon (or any other online shop), they send you a newsletter. If you mark it as spam instead of unsubscribing, you could be losing some of their emails you'd want to see (order confirmation, response to a message you sent them, etc).

      I have simple solution for that. If the newsletter doesn't stop and keeps coming, I would just cancel my email address amzn1@mydomain and open another one amzn2@mydomain. If the spam persists, I just move business elsewhere. As simple as that.

  Really? How would they even know? I've been clicking "report as spam" for anything with a not-immediately-obvious or intentionally complicated unsubscribe button (to punish shady tactics) for a very long time now and I haven't seen any signs of missing any order confirmations.

    Spam reports (at least with aws ses) get reported back to the sender.
