If the newsletter doesn't act on the unsubscribe, report them to the ICO, or the CAN-SPAM Complaint Wizard (good luck with the latter doing anything) and/or add its URL (from the List-id, Sender or Reply-To header) to your black list. This should be a last resort in case any of your other users are subscribers. If all these fail and/or it is only spam pretending to be a newsletter, treat as normal spam: report it to a URIBL, train BAYES on it as spam or extend/add a custom rule to trap it. Martin
