A prayer to the email gods

I need a feature in my email, which is to the effect of saying “never receive any mail from this person again”.

You know, I don’t hate you, good fellas!
but when I subscribed to your mail, (or when you tricked me to subscribe) I thought you were good guys. And I, stupidly thought that you would sent me some good stuff, as you promised, which would be of value to me. I was duped. You started sending me all junk. All unwanted mails. Meh, I am not even remotely interested in all the new bullshit that you have done with your site.

You know what? I don’t care.

So stop sending me. But I know you don’t listen. I don’t want to mark you as spam either. I stupidly asked for it.
Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa.

I could go and unsubscribe from your mailing list. I click a link which says “unsubscribe” and you simply drop me off the list. Ha! If things were that simple, I would have asked the Santa Claus for a better world. or at least for a better hike in my salary!

You take me thru the complex processes of unsubscribing- you make it really difficult for me. And in most cases, trying to unsubscribe is just a proof for you to know that it’s a valid email address and he is much saner than we thought, so let’s send him a lot more of our junk mails.

But for the mail programs, it’s simple- just block everything from this particular mail id. They are not spam, just that I lost interest in their service.

Can you do that, my email demi gods?
