I've been subscribed to a UK based liberal democrat campaign and party news list for two years now. I have
- responded to several fundraisers and party organizers asking them not to email me anymore
- clicked the unsubscribe button/link when there is one(about 1/3rd of the time for some reason)
- reported as spam
- used various unsubscribe services/aggregators
all to no avail. At this point every time an email gets through I just report as spam and manually add them to my filter.
