Thanks for the heads up on this product. I have found that the blocked
sender funtion of OE or any other reader works fine unless it's one of those
hack spams that auto generates a new from address and subject each time they
send out.

I have found the best way yet is to contact the sender through various
indirect means. This might include finding the email address for sales or
support or even the webmaster. Try a search on google for the parent
company. Tell them your displeased with their tactics (one of which is to
use the unsubcribe funtion to only confirm your address), and wish them to
stop. Tell them you've forwarded the spam to the FTC. Tell them your going
to charge them $100 bucks per email "advertising fee" to use your server
space ( it's legal in Ca.)

I have cut my spam from 10-15 a day to 1 or 2 a week using only this method.
If all else fails sign up the webmasters and support staff email addresses
to each others companys spam. I get great pleasure signing up Equalamail.com
to someone elses junk mail.
