For years many have been unwillingly subscribed to a newsletter, Deaf Digest, and attempts to unsubscribe always fail. The site is deafdigest.net and I would like to take action against them but think whoever hosts the site is the best place to go, correct? How would I find this information?

Just today, I received an email saying my address was verified. I know they do this without anyone's consent and they will not stop doing it. Its time to put a stop to it.

WHOIS information for deafdigest.net (deafdigest.com)

Barry Strassler is the "editor" (if not the owner) Also someone remarked in THIS blog that Barry is harvesting e-mail addresses.

HTH

Is the above info sufficient for you?

"Subscription Options"

NOTICE: Please email Barry@Deafdigest.com if you have any problems subscribing or unsubscribing from Deafdigest mailing list."

I am not sure if the above will help but it is from the website.

Xpuser, yes I think that helped a lot. So Godaddy is the host? Are they good about dealing with issues like this? I could not find anything on the blog, would be interesting to read more.

Sabertooth, here is what my email says. I think it will answer the question. LOL

"this is to verify your email address.

do not reply to this message

This email system has been programmed
to discard all responses without being read.

thanks"

And that is from the same email address you pasted above. Contrary to what the web site says, people do NOT have their unsub requests honored.

Could you not just simply block the senders address in your email program?

gazzapee. Certainly any address can be blocked. In this case tho, it seems more wise to try and force this guy to operate with ethics. If no one takes action, he will continue to do what he is doing. Doesn.
