However, threat or not a threat is immaterial. It has been shown in the
past -- and I see no reason to believe it has changed now -- that the
"remove" addresses don't remove you from any mailing lists. Quite the
contrary -- those addresses showing up in 'remove' mailboxes are sold at
a higher price because they are "verified as valid."
1st rule of UCE/UBE : Do *not* send to ANY "remove" address
2nd rule of UCE/UBE/[or erroneously called SPAM]: See rule #1
l.d.
