- bentcorner 5y agoWhen I unsubscribe from a mailing list I know I didn't sign up for, I'll also hit the report spam button in the hopes it gives them some negative gmail juju.
- mkr-hn 5y agoThis does get reported to the sending platform. Stuff like Mailgun and Mailchimp will show you a rate for it, and they do suspend if it gets too high.
- jtbayly 5y agoDepending on where you do it, yeah, it works. In the gmail interface for gmail, but also in the unsubscribe reason box for the sending platform. Both work.
- eloisius 5y agoDo both, but definitely do the spam report via Gmail or your email provider because that dings the platform they use as well. Without a threat to their mailability, they'd have no incentive to keep their customers (the person spamming you) honest.
- rabuse 5y agoI do this if my attempt to unsubscribe fails at all.
- foxpurple 5y agoI mark any newsletter as spam if I didn’t intentionally sign up which is 100% of the time
