       Ask HN: Any good SPAM email reporting services?
        
       I often get spam at my work email - no floods (just a few a week)
       because I've been very careful with my address, just the annoying,
       persistent spammers that I never signed up for (either directly or
       via related 'services'). I suspect most either just do dictionary
       guesses of email addresses, or (more likely) simply try addresses
       based on scraped LinkedIn data. Given how careful I've been with my
       address, and that it's my work address, I kinda take these spams as
       a personal invasion of my inbox (not to mention that it violates
       local laws).  I've used SpamCop[1] in the past, though I have my
       doubts of it having any real benefit; and lately I've found that
       some reports are being sent to a 'nulled' address that ends up
       being used only for their internal statistics (so those reports go
       effectively nowhere)  Are there any other (good) alternative
       services to SpamCop? Or how do you deal with repeat spammers?  P.S.
       Yes, I _could_ "unsubscribe" from their spam, but I have 2 issues
       with that:  1. It confirms to them the email is real, which I don't
       want to do, and...  2. I never subscribed to their spam in the
       first place, so I don't see why I should now be bothered with
       having to unsubscribe. Plus if they were able to add my address to
       their spam list without me providing it, they should just as easily
       be able to remove it without it being provided - hence me using
       SpamCop instead.  [1] https://www.spamcop.net
