Hi, Guys,
The first rule of dealing with spam in the email, and this is also the
absolute most important rule, is:
NEVER! reply to the unsubscribe email at the bottom of the message.  This is
there, not for the purpose of unsubscribing you, or taking you off their
list for receiving future messages.  It is there as a vehicle to confirm in
no uncertain terms that your email address is a real live one.  It then goes
on that CD-rom of millions of verified active email addresses that they can
sell to other spammers and you will only open the forty gates of Hell to be
flooded with more spam.

If the spam message has a person's real name, a real place where they are
based, a real snailmail address, and a real voice phone number, and a real
website you can go to and browse, then you can know it is a real company and
probably actually has something to sell that might actually be useful to
somebody.  Otherwise, just invoke your mail reader's delete function and
send the spam to the old BitBucket.

This is not spam, we're vegetarians!
