There is some controversy about this. Most legitimate e-mail newsletters and many semi-legitimate e-mail marketers have "remove me" links that do exactly what they purport to do: remove you from their e-mail list or database. However, these links have been used for the opposite purpose. In the opinion of Ken Hollis of the alt.spam FAQ: "NEVER reply to the 'Remove Me' e-mail addresses or sites. This only confirms that you have a live e-mail address and makes *your* e-mail address more valuable to sell to other spammers."

How do you stop spam?
Most spam email contains links to unsubscribe from the emails. It may work but since most spam is sent to random email addresses ( that may or may not exist) clicking the unsubscribe link will more likely tell the spam sender that the address is real making your email address more valuable to them for resale. You can't stop spam from being sent. Much spam originates in countries not subject to American anti-spam regulations and no laws passed in this country can do anything about it. Spam can show up in your inbox, spam or junk folder or any other email folder depending on how email is configured and the quality of the spam detection software. If you know it is spam, DO NOT reply to the messages. If you open the email (you should not), do not click on any links. If they are not already in your spam or junk folder, flag them as spam if possible, and delete them.

Is spam a form of privacy or security risk?
Not most of it. Spam is generally mail that is unwanted or not useful.However, a significant amount of spam is encoded in HTML that contains links to images on web sites owned by the spammers. The links also contain unique identifiers that allow the spammers to know the e-mail address to which the spam was sent so that, if your mail reader automatically loads the images, the spammers will know that you received and opened the e-mail--thus verifying your address as an active spam target. Many people consider that a violation of their privacy and some mail readers have features to turn off automatic image loading.Most spam does not represent a direct security risk. However, some spam contains links to web sites that will attempt to download malware to your machine if you click on them. That is more of a Trojan horse/browser problem than simply a spam problem.Similarly, some spam attempts to trick people into divulging account names and passwords by directing you to a fake web site which simulates a legitimate site. This is generally called "phishing". Once again, it is not the spam itself, but the web site that it links to that is a threat.In such cases, the spam could be considered an indirectsecurity risk.
