Various things: * If it’s a valid reply-to, I reply and say “wrong person”. * I try and find a way to contact the intended recipient. * I try and contact the source of the email to say “wrong person” (support, other contact method) * I reset the password and close the account. One time I was added to a school community distribution list. I started replying to it. :-). No, I would not be bringing cookies to the next park outing. I’ve looked up recipients on random sites (like LinkedIn) and contacted them there. Pepperfry is the only place I got really annoyed at, so I just forwarded them all the wrong emails to their support@ email address. Took ‘em about a month, but they stopped. I don’t see why confirmed opt-in is so hard: Click a button on a web page that opens a mailto: with content of a key. If the key is valid (and maybe from the email address entered) you’re done.
