They are able to unsubscribe such returned pieces from the list because they can look up the list entry by address, and also because most of these mailings have a subscriber number of some sort somewhere on the label, and they can look up that number in their database.

You take your name off and they have no idea who returned the mail. How can they take you off the lists? You take your name off and they have no idea who returned the mail.

They eventually take you off since they do not want to pay for a mailing that will only come back to them.

I had tried about 50 times on various computers, browsers, etc. with no luck. Your post was a great help to me and my longer named colleagues. - John Thank you for the heads up on the character limitation to register!

We need more consumer voices focused on this so that we can get mailers to honor consumer preferences. It will be interesting to see what happens this mailing season as the DMACCC.org policies that require mailers to provide information on how to opt-down or opt-out on *every* piece of consumer marketing mail go into effect. Feel free to include your voice over at our blog too: http://blog.catalogchoice.org. Chuck Jonathan:
