I too am curious.
Today I received my first spam to the honeypot address I setup about 3 weeks ago (bgates at colinabartlett dot com). This is an address I never used before and sent only to the aforementioned "unsubscribe" links. It's pretty safe to say now that unsubscribing to spam is a bad thing to do. I'm sure we all assumed that but I wanted to be sure for myself. cheers, Colin Colin A.
