HelloJust for kicks, I stuck a sacrificial email address on the alter. Rarely used, it was getting maybe 6 spams a week. On Feb 1, I did four unsubscribes. That address now receives over 100 spams weekly.
To rule out coincidence, create two addresses simultaneously, leave them both idle for a few weeks, and then if they both receive the same, or nearly the same mail, reply to "unsubscribe" addresses on only one of email accounts. Let us know how much difference there is between volume of mail to the two addresses.
It seems to me that by unsubscribing most of these things tend to confirm your email address, I have over 250 junk emails per day, this seems to have started after a week of 'unsubscribing' to all junk emails. I was originally only getting about 30 a day, that will teach me to try an improve my email content.
I can now enlarge anything, get almost any drug, invest in anything, watch almost anything, pirate all media and stay up all weekend all by the click of a mouse, isn't technology a wonderful thing.
