Most clients do that, and if your mail- reading software is free, it is easy to implement. Either you do that per list-id. Either you do that by marking it as spam, letting spamassassin and other bayesianly deduce other mail headers this is spam. I use KMail which apparently can do that (deduce if a mail is spam or not based on its content, automatically, with nothing manual except marking what is a spam or not), and with Gnus and emacs you can easily filter lists.

The maling list manager for NYLXS Hangout informed me that this operation was successful. Next morning, the messages started coming again. I repeated the unsubscribe request, but I was informed that the password is incorrect. In other words, I had been given a new involuntary subscription with a different password. At that point it became obvious that the next course of action was to reject connections from that server at the SMTP level. Not everyone has that control over their mail, unfortunately.

I second this. My inbox is also getting flooded with hundreds of these emails.

Hello Ruben, Yesterday I received a couple of hundred repeat emails similar to the one I am responding to (sometimes twice each, when I had already received another original from the gnu-misc-discuss list). All of them bear the [Hangout - NYLXS] label. This is extremely inconvenient, particularly as I am too busy currently to find the time to block all of your accounts. It interferes with my other activities. Please remove me from whatever thing (google hangouts?) you've setup for this purpose. I did not sign up to your email spamming service and consider this an undesired intrusion into my privacy. Thank you.
