I keep getting these annoing email from 'human resources' about 'immediate placement' and they all start out the same. I'm in a hurry to tell you about this ... blah blah blah. I click the link to unsubscribe, but I still keep getting them. My main question is this, next to the 'from' in the header is 'DomainKeys verified' What does this mean? And does anyone know how to stop these emails?

Thanks in advance,

SD

Sometimes the "click on unsubscribe" function is merely there to tell the sender that your email address is live.

Domain key verification is the process which attempts to verify that the email isn't spoofed.

You can read tons more by googling Domain Keys. Some info is here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/classic/context/context-07.html

Edited to add: You shouldn't unsubscribe from something that you haven't subscribed to in the first place, you're usually just asking for more spam that way. I would just set up a mail filter to filter them all to trash and ignore them.
