How long do you want to ignore this user?
At the bottom of each marketing email is an "unsubscribe" link. I click this expecting that I'll never receive an email from these people again.

But sometimes it takes me to a page that says "You have been unsubscribed from news emails" or something like that.

No. I don't want any emails from you. How is this not a loophole? Can they just put "You have been unsubscribed from marking emails that begin with the letter J" and then keep emailing you?

Congradulations. You have just confirmed that you actively read and open this email address. You have been promoted to a higher level of subscriber and your address will be sold again. Would you like to try our new EXTRA BIGASS TACO?

I've often wondered how much my district makes selling our work emails to advertisers.

They already do that through the images imbedded in the emails.

Did you know cats are obligate carnivores? Feeding them kibble is like feeding ice cream to a diabetic.
