Should be viable for both solicided an unsolicited mail.
Or, does anyone think that unsubscribing spam is counter-productive
still?
In short, yes, it is unproductive. The quasi-legitimate stuff does go
away, but the rest doesn't. This was confirmed just recently by Laura on
Word To The Wise, who posted about this just 5 days ago:

TL;DR: Spam load went up. Unsubscribing from each of 312 messages in one
month resulted in 6 straight months of higher spam load.
I've had similar results on a Gmail spamtrap I've got (an address I've
never used and don't use, but happens to be a common firstname.lastname
combination, so it gets tons of typo'd mail seeding the trap)
