    Set up a filter/forward on that Email address, so that every Email you receive from them, is directly forwarded to every possible Email address in the company. Eventually it should stop.

    it will stop, but only beacuse your email is gone.... because you are gone.

        I don't know why I've never thought of this. Nice.

          Well, I've called companies and asked for the CEO's name and Email before, although, with a name, you can almost always guess: First.Last@company.com Often times, especially if the company is public, you can get that information directly from their filings (is on the statements), and their public relations contact information. Sales is ALWAYS easy to hit, they generally have their individual addresses listed; and webmaster (no offense Chris). Get enough of them with it, and one of them will go have it removed from their list.

              RadarSoft keep sending me spam, from which to unsubscribe I have to log at their web site, where to retrieve my password I have to supply email address and license key. I may have once installed a trial, but at least more than a year ago, and I have no trace of a license key. Is there no legislation against obscuring the means to unsubscribe?

                Yes, but I shouldn't have to use it to unsubscribe.

                    A couple years back, the head of our IT department and me were good friends. One day, he took it upon himself to start to manually forwarding all the spam coming into the company directly to my Inbox (little b--tard). So, I came up with the idea to just automatically forward that back to HIS work Email account. Well, he caught on, and did what you stated here, and automatically redirected it all back to my Email. Needless to say, it wasn't long before the Email server came to a grinding halt. Guess you could say it was a stalemail. (har, har)

                      I don't know about everyone in the company but; administrator@(domain name).(ext) postmaster@(domain name).(ext) should get some attention.

                        1. You sign up the offending email address to every listserv you can look up. 2. Report it to spamcop. 3. If you control your own firewall and it's capable, you could reject all traffic from email's domain.

                          That latest wrinkle on this problem I've noticed is few companies (even big name ones) honour their unsubscribe feature any more. I bought a samsung monitor years ago and they keep sending me a newsletter every month which I've unsubscribed from dozens of times to no avail. Same for a bunch of other companies. I can't be bothered to go through the whole process of finding the right person to get it fixed, I just block them now at our mail server. (It's nice to have your own mail server :) )

                            Usually when I sign up for an evaluation or whatever I give my boss' name and email address; particularly if he asked me to look into it. I do still get email from MySQL, Intel, and ComponentOne, but I send them to the junk folder. I don't bother trying to unsubscribe.

                              It sounds as though they are simply trying to keep others from unsubscribing you.

                                Why do you need them ? You can filter based on domain name.

                                  Get one of their legit email addresses and start spamming it until they remove you. I've done it before and it worked brilliantly. I wrote a simple program that used remote SMTP and sent 100 messages every 10 minutes until they removed me. I was off the list in just a few hours.
