How to Avoid Spam Filters

I'd also add - your unsubscribe link should work, and work immediately, with no extra effort. There's no reason why it should take 48 hours for the unsubscribe to actually go through, or why I need to jump through 20 hoops after clicking unsubscribe to actually do it, or especially for the unsubscribe to not work at all. If your unsubscribe link is at all tricky, then I'm hitting report spam. Because you are, in fact, spam.

Speaking of ranty complaints, why does the linked page auto-scroll to the top when you click on it? That's lame and annoying.

Honestly, people shouldn't click the unsubscribe links anyway. Spammers use that as a way to make sure people are actually reading their emails.

This is true for newsletters you never subscribed to in the first place. But unsubscribing from mailing lists you once subscribed to should be possible (and done) through the unsubscribe link. There are a lot of valid reasons (change of interest, frequency of mailings ...) and I agree with the parent that unsubscribe links should work immediately and not try to discourage you from unsubscribing.
