Please do *NOT* do this.  "Spam" is not the same thing as "I subscribed to
this list but now want to unsubscribe".  Marking legitimate messages, say
from lists that you are no longer interested in, as spam makes it harder
for the actual spam to be found and dealt with.

For example, I used to sign up for AOLs service where they would send me
notifications when messages from systems I manage were marked as sending
spam.  However, since I manage many servers (including the one that runs
this list), this sort of behavior was deluging me with invalid "spam"
reports, to the tune of, as a guess, a thousand false ones for every
legitimate one.

Because of these invalid requests, I can't find and act on the legitimate
requests in as timely a manner, so more real spam gets sent before action
can be taken.

I've checked the list membership and confirmed that you are no longer
subscribed at the above address.
