Opt-Out of all the spam!
I’ve been getting a ton of CBD expo spam for months. Spamassassin picks up most of it, and Gmail collects the rest in the Spam folder. However, today one got through so I scrolled down to the unsub link and saw it was sendgrid. I recognise them from previously reporting […]

A pint of Guinness flavoured spam
It seems that someone signed me up for “Guinness Poker Nights” and Guinness, God bless their black hearts, saw that as an invitation to spam me in the future. I don’t know how to play poker, I have no interest in it, I don’t like the taste of Guinness. Why […]

Does your Mr. Winkie need upgrading?
