The last month or so I've been getting a lot of repeat spam from the same types of affiliate sites coming through bulk email sites like email brain etc. Some of them have a 'report spam' link and I use that and click the option to say that I never subscribed to it in the first place - hopefully the spammers who bought the list with my email on it are getting spanked for misusing the service. And then most of the others just have an unsubscribe link - if you're getting spammed from someone using a bulk mail place, it's pretty safe to use the unsubscribe link, and so far it's working pretty well for me.
But be careful, yesterday I was on the phone and going through my junk mail at the same time - and wasn't really paying attention and clicked an unsubscribe link in an email that wasn't coming through a service and my virus protection started throwing up alerts like crazy. Stupid spammers.
