Encouraged by advice from few Linux-IL subscribers, I clicked on the
unsubscription link provided:
https://www.pac.co.il/RmvMails/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&dm=DailyMaily
(quoted after censoring of my actual E-mail address).
I was directed to a form requesting me to fill my details - name,
company, phone numbers. The field containing my E-mail address was
already filled.
This is a bad design - it seems that anyone can unsubscribe anyone else
from the mailing list. A simpler unsubscription system would have
removed my subscription request as soon as I click on the link from the
E-mail message - and if the link was properly hashed, such a system
would also not allow other people to unsubscribe him.
When clicking on the "הסירו אותי" button, the unsubscription request was
rejected!!! Red stars indicated that I must fill my first name and last
name. Fortunately no further details (which I left empty) were
required.
Only after filling first name and last name fields, and clicking again
on the above button, I got confirmation that my unsubscription request
was accepted and will be processed within three business days.
They indicate that it is possible to get further help in unsubscribing
by sending E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

soundtracks, professional photography and expert editing.
