I usually try to unsubscribe form emails about two/three times. If that doesn’t work I’ll start making them as spam.
I’m aware that a company’s email address falling on the spam list can be an absolute nightmare for the company, but I have no other option to let them know that I no longer need their emails :(
- wefarrell 5y agoIf I receive an email I didn’t sign up for I’ll contact the email service provider directly. They act quickly because it’s their servers reputations that are at stake, and many times they’ll drop their customer over it.
- 369548684892826 5y agoThis sounds like a good idea. Do you usually have to look through the email headers to find the email service provider?
- aeyes 5y agoThis never happens because they send through services like Sendgrid with thousands of source IPs which never get onto the block lists because they also send some mails which are not spam. Quote from their website: > If you are on one of our shared IP plans and you notice a block message from Spamhaus based on one of our IP addresses, please know that we are already working with Spamhaus directly to address the issue.

- eloisius 5y agoI encourage you to start marking them as spam on the first strike. When I give a company my email, I only do it because it’s necessary for creating an account, making a purchase, or something like that. I’ve never clicked a checkbox inviting a company to send me emails that are not directly related to me using their product, like tracking updates or password resets. If there was an obvious box to uncheck, I would have unchecked it. I would never, ever consent to receiving company newsletters, product updates, marketing, or anything else. Ergo, it’s spam, and I do my little part to harm their deliverability.
