I cannot email that unsubscribe link because it says I am not subscribed. I cannot visit that page, I have not subscribed to that group. I've had to set up a special filter to look for that footer.
... Wait! You've indirectly helped solve the issue!
They are being sent to "info@" my domain, an alias that forwards to my real account. I set up a new outgoing account with that From address, sent from there, and managed to get Google to unsubscribe something I never agreed to in the first place.
It's been like this for a year, and with multiple attempts to fix it.
This reminds me, it would be nice if Google had an easy way to blacklist a sender and/or subject such that it wouldn't even go to spam. I have enough spam false positives that I needed to scan my spam folder periodically, and I'd love to have a way to permanently filter out regular crap in there. I've created explicit filters for some of the more prevalent ones, but a one click blacklist button on spam emails would be great. (Along with some way to edit the blacklist in case of mistakes.)
