You sure? What about your mailbox that probably contains promotional emails from your bank or your ISPs?
Junk mail should be illegal. Such a waste of resources and it's absolutely unsolicited harassment. Imagine if those companies faced the same sort of consequences you'd personally get if you kept mailing someone shit constantly.
Junk e-mail, you mean? I don't really mind them, and automatically straight up to the Trash. I have filters to do this.
I rarely receive a physical mail on my mailbox, except my electricity and water bills every month.
I mean physical mail. 98% of the mail we receive is junk and ads and there's nothing we can do about it. Spam email goes straight to the spam folder automatically, it's a non-issue.
