This happened to me! Can I go to these services and turn it off, like remove my name from these spam lists? Please point me to this.

About once a month I go and drop myself from the latest lists. There are many magazines and whatnot where you can sign someone up for 100+ mails a day. Only a very few of them send you a message you have to ack to start the flood. Most just start the firehose without checking.

I'd like to hear what other people do to address this.
