"We will manually unsubscribe you"

So, you promise to click on any link called "unsubscribe" in any email we forward to you?

Somehow this sounds dangerous. I do hope you are doing that in a proper sandbox or virtual machine.

How about those fake "unsubscribe" links that actually record your email address in a database as a valid hit?

Yeah it's done on a virtual machine that logs screenshots once a second for auditing purposes.

Screenshots including potential personal data contained in forwarded emails? How long amd where are these screenshots stored and what happens to them afterwards?
