I hate those bastards at junk e-mail servers. Some how about 2 of them have gotten my e-mail adress but i still get 20 mails just about every time i log in. Every few weeks they switch one or two letters or send adds for different products so my blocked senders list just keeps growing and growing. I've clicked un-subscribe but those bastards won't leave me alone.

Just be thankful they can't send flaming bags of dogshit across the Net, I'm sure some scriptkiddy would love to do that to several million people.

Most of the time the unsubscribe address is really to confirm your email.

Aye, so I just ignore the things altogether.

NEVER click return a junk email. All it does is confirm your address as live and your address will find its way to other servers.

My ISP installed SpamAssassin on their mail server, and its killing about 95% of the spam I *was* getting.
What does get through (which is very little) I send to Spamcop.net for reporting. I used to do all the tracing myself, but that was time consuming.

The next version of Mozilla, currently in beta testing, has an machine-learning based antispam filter. Depending on the quality of the implementation the methods involved have the potential to be extremely effective. Anyone who's really on the wrong end of a spam sewer should look into Mozilla if they don't have an ironclad reason to stay with Microsoft Outhouse.

Unfortunately I use Yahoo Mail, and they shut down their free POP service, so I have to put up with spam. I'm using my sister's friend's ISP, so I don't have a POP account.
