Stop responding in any way to the junk emails - that _especially_ means stop
unsubscribing. As you've demonstrated, there are two things that can happen
when you follow a spammer's instructions on how to unsubscribe. The best
you can hope for is that the spammer's account has been deactivated and your
unsubscribe message comes back to you undeliverable, because the alternative
is that the spammer will acknowledge that you are "a live one", and pass
your address around all his spamming buddies.
Ask your sysadmin if you can change the address at which you receive email,
and have the old email address reject all incoming mail.
Or, become a spam-fighter, learn how to read headers, and start complaining
to the spammers' ISPs until they are removed for violating their Terms of
Service.
Alun.
