I can't help but think "what does unsubscriber get from this?". Anyone have any thoughts? I wasn't suspicious until the site said that they would solve the captcha. That means they have people working on this (or some darn good bots), which costs money either way.

What do they want with our spam?

Well, we know they get an email address and, quite probably, a username associated with an account. Of course, that would only be of value to someone doing something sketchy...

Alternatively, he gets a large sample size of unwanted emails with unsubscribe links. This would be useful for someone writing a gmail plugin (or Thunderbird plugin, or new mail service, or whatever) designed to deal with unwanted mail that's not fully spam (i.e. complies with CAN-SPAM) but which is not desired by the recipient.

The second paragraph, yes, that's my thinking. If @m5rk and I write up enough rules and process, with enough data, that would be useful to some biz like, oh, gmail. Maybe.

The captcha bit was me just fooling. There are no captchas for unsubscribing. Well, I've never seen any, at least.

I did this for 2 reasons:

1) It was an absurdly simple MVP. 2) I actually have been looking for this service, so I wanted to see if others had any interest. 3) Wait, 3?
