My Hotmail account - mostly the junk mail - always has that crap in it, the penis-lengthening, hot chicks having sex with animals, you can make lot$$ of money, etc., etc., and I'm afraid to open it at all, for fear of viruses. MSN is nuts if they think "unsubscribing" is going to eliminate any of it. I've blocked hundreds of senders of this garbage, and there's no let up.

The companies don't "play fair" to begin with.

Anytime I've ever replied to an unsolicited email to be removed from a list, the email has bounced from their address provided (and not with a "mailbox full" message).

Additionally, I've been advised not to respond to those offers to be dropped from the list. When you respond, you let them know that they have a working email account.

Sure it's illegal in America, but if these sites aren't landed in America there is less likelihood on prosecution (or violation).
