Yeah, many companies do that. I unsusbcribed from newline, they still keep spamming me. Funny thing is, they realised they had made a mistake and promised to remove unsubs. One week later, the spam started.
The correct solution is the spam button. Always
- chrisjj 9mo agoThe spam button risks false positives.
- saghm 9mo agoIt's not a false positive to classify a company as a bad actor and move their emails to the spam folder if they refuse to respect user choices. If anything, I wish it would happen more often and at a massive scale, because then maybe companies would have an incentive to stop being so hostile around this.
- chrisjj 9mo agoAgreed, but the false positive I am referring to is the cathching of the non-spam message from the source of the previous spam message.
- solid_fuel 9mo agoThey shouldn't send marketing mail from an address they want to be read. I think that's been the standard for a while, in practice - most actual transactions come from orders@<blank> or something similar while marketing mail comes from a dozen other addresses.
- chrisjj 9mo agoAgreed, but many do. They want all mail to be read. Worst offender here is a bank.

- shantnutiwari 9mo agoIn theory. In practice-- I would spend all my time just filing complaints, because today, in 2026, I get more spam from "legitimate" companies than "Nigerian scammer" types
- duskdozer 9mo agoI wish I could without going through a long process involving tons of personal info
