Candidate emails

[elizilla]

Over the last several months I have donated to a number of candidates. Some of them have really really bad email hygiene. One in particular has been spamming me almost hourly. Their unsubscribe page has a spot where you can select "Fewer Emails", and I'm interested enough to follow along, so I tried that first. It didn't reduce the flood any, so I went to their unsub page again and selected "No emails". I still get hourly emails from them. I've tried the unsubscribe several times now, and it does nothing. I finally had to filter them. I'm not going to name the candidate, since I do still hope they win. But come on, guys, do you really think it helps your campaign, to force your supporters to filter your email?

Report them to their ISP. It's illegal and no one should conduct illegal campaigns.

I'm not hostile.

That's not hostile. It may be "lawful good" but it's not hostile.

Now you must roll 2D20 -20% for save v Geekmo.

Set up a rule to delete? I agree though - very annoying.

Calling/emailing their customer support might help too in case it is a problem that they are unaware of.

Set up a rule to forward them to the candidate. If you're lucky, you can set up a mail loop.
