Ralsky said he includes a link on each e-mail he sends that lets the recipient opt out of any future mailings.

Just another way of insuring you'll get more spam.

Let me put in a plug for Yahoo...

I agree that Yahoo is pretty good at sending SPAM to the Bulk folder. BUT... recently the SPAM has been coming in as something other than text files. They are gif or jpegs that aren't attachments. I get about 90% of them in my In box. I always report them to Yahoo. They have some catching up to do with their SPAM blocking.
