How does the Gmail unsubscribe button work?

My naive suggestion. "Hard" unsubscribe button that tosses all future emails from this list in the trash and mails the sender a note that the address has unsubscribed from this list and all future emails will be ignored.

Gmail has over a billion active users. Mailing lists will probably adapt to whatever crumbs Google leaves on the doorstep.

Isn't that exactly the "mark as spam" button?

Mark as spam doesn't notify the sender
