Of course, quite a few people will just hit 'Spam' instead. Which is why you don't want to do this even if you don't care aboue being evil/annoying your customers.


I just use spamgourmet.com.

My procedure is usually:

1) go to: spammysite.com

2) register as: spammysite.[username]@xoxy.net (or one of their other domains, they have a bunch )

3) get up to 5 emails from the site, the rest just get erased ( you can up their limit on the site, or set an exclusive sender )

4) enjoy life free of spam from that site


I do believe the U.S. Can Spam act actually requires the unsubscribe process to not require the user to login.


In essence, the cost of buying anything online is infinite.


It's so true! That's why I use a catchall email address for unimportant websites.


That was exactly what happened to me when I tried to get Amazon to stop shipping me those "you might also be interested in", which I am not.
