Certainly there is value in getting off the lists ... I don't think "unsubscribing" will truly work. If the spammer cared about your (un)subscription preferences, he wouldn't have spammed you in the first place. The best way to refuse membership in the spam lists is with sa-exim : http://marc.merlins.org/linux/exim/sa.html With sa-exim you don't even accept the message in the first place. As a result, your live address looks like it is dead to the sending SMTP server. I've been using sa-exim for quite a while now and am very happy with it. -D -- The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice. Proverbs 12:15 http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/
