Should be viable for both solicided an unsolicited mail.
Or, does anyone think that unsubscribing spam is counter-productive still?

Rejecting spam at the MTA can be good for this:
I was talking about mail that already came to the mailbox and thus can't be

- spammers who get unsubscribe responses will use that to confirm the address
and send more, therefore unsubscribing to them is a bad idea
It was afaik already proven that sensding "unsubscribe" mail from new
address (nobody knows about) caused spam going to the address.
I was asking if you find this still to be true.
Therefore users should be encouraged to unsubscribe from things they really
did subscribe to, but otherwise MTA rejection of what looks like spam should
reduce the quantity of both spam mass-mailings and genuine newletters etc.
I agree, the unsubscribe button should be shown to user whenever an
unsubscribe link is detected (at least the one in List-Unsubscribe: header)
Note that unsubscription confirmation request should not be tagged as
spam, so the user can confirm it.
I see here possibilities for some list unsubscribe rules...
