[dba-Tech] Trying to unsubscribe

[Stuart McLachlan]

The "To: " address can contain anything the orignator wants to put there. It is not used for 
email routing.  Spammers do use it for tracking, especially when people paste it into 
unsubscribe links.

Unsubscribing from spam emails is a big mistake.  In the majority of cases it just confirms 
that you are reading their spam and gets you on more spammers lists!  Never unsubscribe 
unless it is something you have actually subscribed to.
