Actually, the link you described in your post on Bardtalk list is a
legitimate that actually unsubscribes you. What is happening now is that
spammers or mass mailers are now signing up with emailing services where
they promise to not send Spam. They don't always keep their promises so this
particular service has instituted these features about reporting Spam and
asking why you are unsubscribing.C

I went ahead and used the unsubscribe link. So far there are no
undesirable consequences.

unsubscribing could do one of two things depending on the spammer. It might
unsubscribe you or it might show them that this is a live email address and
to reward you they will send you more.

Subject: [blind-democracy] Coupon Deals
Is anyone familiar with Coupon Deals. Suddenly I find my in box being
filled with advertising from something called Coupon Deals. Each one
advertises something different from dating sites to vacation deals to
conominiums. They all have a link to unsubscribe, but I have no memory
of signing up for these emails, even accidentally, so I am hesitant to
click any links in them. That might be a good way to download malware. I
did accidentally click one of their links once and was taken to what
appeared to be a legitimate site and apparently I was not infected with
anything, but I don't want to push my luck. I keep deleting them with
control+shift+M, but this does not seem to have any effect in slowing
them down. Has anyone else gotten these and has clicking their
unsubscribe link done any good? Or has anyone else found a better way to
get rid of them?
