Hello,
I am getting my share of emails from those wanting to sell me a product or service. Is there a way to stop it? If I click on unsubscribe, it seems I get more of these solicitations. I certainly would like to know who is responsible for giving out my email address.

If it's unsolicited spam you should not click the unsubscribe button. That, as you found out, will generally result in more spam. Log into your email provider and just add the addresses as junk and they should be blocked.

I had to make up a junk folder as it was not listed. Now I am sending these junk mails to it. Hopefully this will stop some or more of these emails.
