I still have one on my Mac Studio but although I keep updating it I have not used it for some time now, due to no fault of the software which is very useful, specially in cases like yours.

I went for a long time to ignoring them (just deleting), believing that unsubscribing would just alert them to my actual existence, or incentivising them to sell my email to other sites. Currently I am unsubscribing and/or sending to Junk. Numbers have improved somewhat but still relatively high, with some sites saying it will take 10 days to activate! Does sending to Junk do anything in a practical sense? I would like to understand this situation & what can really be done with it. I don’t really want to get a new email address…. Many thanks in advance for your take on the situation & possible solutions, Cheers, Alex MacBook Air Ventura 13.7.8 -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Settings & Unsubscribe - <https://lists.wamug.org.au/mailman/listinfo/wamug> References Visible links: 1. https://spamsieve.macupdate.com/ 2. https://c-command.com/spamsieve/ 3. https://c-command.com/spamsieve/ 4. https://c-command.com/spamsieve/ 5. https://macperformanceguide.com/blog/2024/20240502_1230-SpamSieve.html 6. https://macperformanceguide.com/blog/2024/20240502_1230-SpamSieve.html Hidden links: 8. https://c-command.com/spamsieve/ 9. https://macperformanceguide.com/blog/2024/20240502_1230-SpamSieve.html <spamsieve.ico><2024-0502-SpamSieve,std.jpeg>-- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Settings & Unsubscribe - <https://lists.wamug.org.au/mailman/listinfo/wamug>
