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

this was why I recommended
- unsubscribe (for the legitimate stuff to go away)
- train (to reject in the future)
This was confirmed just recently by Laura
on Word To The Wise, who posted about this just 5 days ago:
https://wordtothewise.com/2014/08/unsubscribing-spam-part-3/
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)
This is the valuable info I was searching for...
Now I can speculate what happened if only FNs were unsubscribed
(no unsubscribe on detected spam)...
