Just a thought. Instead of brooding about not being able to remove your emails from spam sites, ever considered putting in a known spammer email in the Remove box instead of yours?:)
And by spammer email address, I don't mean that address you pluck it off from the email which is usually crap. All the spam that comes in usually advertise some sorta URL. Find out who owns the bloody URL using WHOIS, validate their email address to make sure it's legitimate, and throw their email in the Remove box.
Of course, if you have time on your hands, you could always go VISIT the spam sites, find out the contacts (if you can't, check out the source code), validate the email address for legitimacy, and do the same in other spam sites Remove box. Spam sites are just PERFECT breeding ground for Remove and Opt-Out boxes!
If you have a website, it gets even better! Draw up a HTML page and stick the spammer's legitimate email addresses in there... and pray for the bots to come!:)
Who knows, their email will probably get harvested, and the spammers will in turn get spammed by other spammers. Let them spam themselves to death for all I care.
And after that, if you are really hyped, subscribe them to some beastiality mailing lists, or some nasty ones, and imagine them squirm!
Remember, I get spam too! And it sucks. But thanks to Procmail, it's just a trickle now. Still, one or two do get through a day, and for those rare ones, boy I really DO hope they have REMOVE and OPT-OUT boxes!;)
So don't shun the Remove options. Embrace it to your advantage!;)
