The problem is that the deletes only work for further messages about 
that particular company. So, you may (successfully) tell them to stop 
sending you mail about ABC Company, but still keep getting mail about 
DEF Co. and 123 Co.

The problem is not with you, but with the dozens of unscrupulous 
companies willing to plunk down their $400 or so for a mass spam. For 
every one that you cancel there are dozens more lining up to replace 
them.

I work for me. I speak for me. That's the way I like it.
