But do you even try clicking unsubscribe? What you're describing is just so different from real spam.

    The reply to that post states pretty clearly why you're wrong. I'm curious though - after you give out your email address, which you don't consider "soliciting" in this sense but I do, how do you imagine "soliciting" any specific communication? Nothing can possibly be 'solicited' under your definition. I just don't get why you even give out an email address, if anything you get thereafter is still considered unsolicited.

      > I just don't get why you even give out an email address Because you pretty much have to buy anything online nowadays. My personal solution is to use the '+' trick to give customized emails out to everyone and then to block them at the SMTP level in my /etc/mail/access file if they don't stop sending mails after the 1st unsubscribe attempt.
