What exactly does one have to do to get out of CMP's clutches? Your
unsubscribe systems are obviously fraudulent - I have unsubscribed from
your junkmail DOZENS of times and yet it continues to flow. I have even
started to get junkmail from you at an email address that has never
been used to subscribe to any of your worthless advertising
circulars... I mean, "valuable industry publications".
I want to get my name out of your database permanently; I never want to
receive another communication from your spam foundries. HOW DO I
ACHIEVE THIS?

Hello Lewin,
How 'bout finding the email address of the editor in chief and sending
said message there? If that doesn't do the trick maybe an auto-fwd of
all the unwanted email to the chief's address would do it.

he'd fix it. We'll see.
They also send me a couple of other print mags (with their own

I get about as many newsletters as porn spam these days.

I have found greylisting to do wonders.
Greylisting looks at the IP address of the sender and the recipient address. If the system does not recognize this information, then
it will temporarily reject the e-mail. All legitimate e-mail systems will attempt to resend the e-mail at a later time, and the
e-mail will go through.
Most applications that send junk e-mail just send junk e-mail messages once and do not attempt to resend them. These junk e-mail
applications use the "fire-and-forget" method, which means that if the junk e-mailer was unsuccessful at sending junk e-mail to a
particular e-mail address, the application will not try to resend that e-mail message.
Greylisting does not delete legitimate e-mail messages. All legitimate e-mails will be successfully delivered using greylisting. The
only potential effect greylisting may have for pair Networks customers is a slight delay in the delivery of legitimate e-mail
messages.
