I keep getting emails from an organization I was associated with years ago. They do not have an opt-out link. How do I get them to stop?

1 Answer

Answer :

You have done the recommended first steps. Call them at this point and state you need to be removed from whatever distribution you are on. There is an RFC in the industry for email unsubscribe that defines it, but it may not apply to them or have implimented it. Many of these emails come from addresses that are unmonitored or not a valid email back. Call them and be a bit more stern, but the simple way to fix this is put the email address of the email you get on a block list or defined spam on your client. Do this for any email coming from the entire domain name @xyzcompany.com
