Unsubscribe?

Just a very minor thought comes to my mind. Each days, I receive tons and tons of junk mail. But is it useful to use the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of those mail?

Those junk mails might just randomly send to user’s mail box, the sender doesn’t actually know whether the spam is read by user or not. Therefore, setting up a “unsubscribe” link for user to click on might just only a trap, sender is able to collect some infomations from that click, like ‘this specific email, xxx@xxx.com, is geniune’ or ‘this user does read our junk mail’.

So, the main purpose of the unsubscribe not really removing yourself out of the mailing list, but to leak out your trace and lead to bring in more junk mail into your account.

I not sure about it, just an evil guess of mine.
