Yeah but surely unsubcribing means you unsubscribe that's what I would've thought I shouldn't have to change my email address. These companies shouldn't be able to send shite to you when you don't want it and haven't signed up for them ;o)

The internet being new is essentially a lawless domain so laws are basically useless

Where as there are places to get your name removed from mailing lists
for junk mail to your post box there doesn't seem to be a similar internet
system.Probably because there is no way of policing it at present

All the IT Experts I have spoken to say exactly the same thing
Once your email is seriously spammed....close it or use a decent filter
As Woodgnome said above even with a good filter you will still need to peruse the spam just in case it stuffed up

All I would suggest is checking out with your ISP wether a filter exists
Can't do any harm EH?

Good Luck

cheers
