Stop sending me emails. I followed your opt-out instructions. I'm gonna start asking for my $11k per message pretty soon.

Exactly! either check email replies for unsubscribe or you can start sending me $11k a message.
Exactly, what i'm talking about! I don't want that shit either. Luckily for me the law is on my side.
The CAN-SPAM Act: Requirements for Commercial Emailers
"It requires that your email give recipients an opt-out method. You must provide a return email address or another Internet-based response mechanism that allows a recipient to ask you not to send future email messages to that email address, and you must honor the requests. You may create a "menu" of choices to allow a recipient to opt out of certain types of messages, but you must include the option to end any commercial messages from the sender.
Any opt-out mechanism you offer must be able to process opt-out requests for at least 30 days after you send your commercial email. When you receive an opt-out request, the law gives you 10 business days to stop sending email to the requestor's email address. You cannot help another entity send email to that address, or have another entity send email on your behalf to that address. Finally, it's illegal for you to sell or transfer the email addresses of people who choose not to receive your email, even in the form of a mailing list, unless you transfer the addresses so another entity can comply with the law.

oh and the best part...
"Penalties
Each violation of the above provisions is subject to fines of up to $11,000. Deceptive commercial email also is subject to laws banning false or misleading advertising. "
Millnic emails could also be considered deceptive because it is inferring people make money with them.
"The law, which became effective January 1, 2004, covers email whose primary purpose is advertising or promoting a commercial product or service, including content on a Web site. A "transactional or relationship message" – email that facilitates an agreed-upon transaction or updates a customer in an existing business relationship – may not contain false or misleading routing information, but otherwise is exempt from most provisions of the CAN-SPAM Act."

If I had an "existing business relationship" I could login to millnic/directtrack and disable.
Most legit companies still have an opt-out... AMEX, BofA, etc. all allow me to opt-out no problem. Even if the law doesn't require it, which I still think millnic may apply, it's good business.
If they canceled his account and cannot login and still send the SPAM... that ain't so good, very illegal.
