Not in one specific case. But I wonder if they're building a knowledge
base that might one day be used as the foundation for some AI to kill this
stuff.
The one absolute no- no is never to reply to one of these things. A few
years ago I set up a Freeserve account to test this - I put the address on
a web page and waited. Sure enough, a day or two later I got a few spams.
I replied to each "unsubscribe" address and got over 200 spams during the
next couple of days. Don't do it.
