With the amount of junk mail people get weekly, I was curious if there are ways you can block, remove or filter the actual mail from ever getting to your mailbox.

    Be careful about “unsubscribing” to various services.

    They will unsubscribe you, but then they also have all of your information (name, address, anything else) on record and confirmed. They can profit when the sell that data to another mailer “service”. It’s like a Hydra.

      Absolutely. Unrelated to mail but related to data, Microsoft 365 comes with “Microsoft Defender for Individuals”; it monitors the dark web and HIBP for leaks… you can many different things from your personal information to your cards and insurance… sounds interesting at first until you see that Microsoft has partnered with Experian if i recall correctly, so you’re giving information away to a data broker/credit broker.
