This workaround lets me banish inbox spam once and for all.

Have you ever shopped at an online store once, and then found yourself dealing with a constant influx of marketing spam emails for weeks and even months? Virtually every online service wants me to create an account just to read what’s below the fold or browse through a few listings. The result is that on any given day, I’m dealing with at least one newsletter, discount code, “we miss you” flyer, or privacy policy update email that I don’t care about.

Sure, most marketing emails have an unsubscribe button, but those never seem to work reliably. I’ve found that plenty of services refuse to honor my opt-out request and even the honest ones will accidentally leak my personal data from time to time.
