Yeah that makes it ok...

Anyway what email service are you using? i know yahoo allows you to block certani emails or whol domains.. For example you could block Freecards@funnypostcard.com or just funnypostcard.com It is under email fitlers..

mark it as junk mail and if it has a junk folder, it will be moved there.. n then u can select to mark all of it so it wont be sent to u anymore.. and most of them should have an "unsubscribe" link on the bottom somehow.. so u can try that..

Many unsubscripe links just make it worse, It comfirms your adress so they add you to more mailing losts to other companys.

You probably don't want to do this, but you could just switch to Gmail, or even Yahoo, they both have spam filters. They never get through for me.
