That's a great question. I run a small server at home for myself and a few others, so I can still take a quick look through the mail going to the spamtrap account for stuff like that before letting it get reported/learned. Also, I don't do it that often because it doesn't take much to start a flood, and also, really, who wants to be wasting their time going to spam web sites. I have to say, though, that I've never once gotten an e-mail about being unsubscribed from a spam web site.
