Hello!  Lots has been said already.  I'm not going to repeat anything
here, but I do have to point out that it is of _no_ use to use some of
the spammers option to (what they call) "unsubscribe"!

The very only effect of such an attempt to "unsubscribe" is that the
spammer gets the confirmation that your email address is valid, and in
use, and therefore it will be redistributed even more!

A very effective way of dealing with spam is an overly well-configured
mail server, that reacts not only as filter, but re-routes all such
emails to its own "Mailer Daemon" routine, acting as if the address
used is not valid at all and sending a failure message back to origin.
Unfortunately, as also already has been said, most addresses of origin
are either not valid or are sometimes "stolen" addresses.

While with invalid email addresses the mail server will get a nasty
"bounce-back" effect, at least those people who got their email address
abused can not only find out about it this way, but also collect
evidence.  If the spammer is actually using a valid address of him-
(or her-!) self, then an authentic rejection by a mailer daemon might
indeed be encouraged to take your address off the spamming list.

Geez; now what again has all this to do with mechanical music? ;-)

P.S.: I personally just use the filter of my ISP and also configure my
"local" filter of my mail-program to have spams just simply deleted.
This way the Internet gets not further slowed down by bouncing around
emails in the thousands and also it simply seems as if I'm not
using/reading my emails.
