Did a big clean out of my personal email. Mass delete of promotional junk mail that seems to turn up regardless of ticking ‘do not send emails’ when making online purchases. Unsubscribed from most. Got a few ‘need 3 days to process your unsubscribe’ or ‘error, unable to unsubscribe at this time’ and other thoroughly bullshit excuses.
If any of them are Australian, that’s illegal here. If an Australian company sends you more junk after you have told them to stop, you can report them to ACMA. The fines they get are not insignificant.

Good to know. I’ll keep an eye on it. If no one reports them they’ll just keep on doing it!
