i used to as well... until i started looking for the "unsubscribe" instructions in each (it DOES actually work.. i didnt believe it until i tried it).

it took about a week or two to get all of them, but now i only get 1 or 2 spam emails a week in total at most.

thats what i thought originally... but the fact that your message doesn't bounce back means they KNOW you're getting the email anyway.

fact is, it works. i went from deleting circa 100+ emails a day and having to wade thru them to see if they were from anyone i knew... to unsubscribing from each, and now almost never have spam.

seriously, give it a try. it's boring but it works.
