Hello,
I made the mistake of responding to a game received in my emails, and since then, I have been flooded with ads and
offers like Carrefour lottery medications, etc.
In these messages, it is noted at the end that if you no longer wish to receive these ads, "click here"
But you can click as much as you want, it doesn't help.
How can I stop these unwanted emails?
Thank you in advance for your responses

Hello,
You should never click on unsubscribe links, or on any other links or images present in the email... doing so may confirm that the address exists and is in use... that is the main goal of spam!
Here are some rules to follow to avoid a large amount of spam:

Here are some rules to follow to avoid a large amount of spam:
- Mark each spam as unwanted (or blacklist depending on the email service)
- Do not open them and delete them directly.
- Create filtering rules. (depending on the email service)
- Never respond to spams.
- Do not click on links or images in spam.
- Do not use unsubscribe addresses.
- Stop multiple sign-ups to sites, games, etc.
- And above all, do not disclose your email on the whole web! ;-)

I also receive promotional emails.
I was wondering if it’s possible, like with a mobile phone when you receive a promotional SMS, to reply "STOP" to the email so they stop sending us this ad?
