Got an issue here, where I dunno if I should follow RoadRunners guidelines 
or teach them how spam works.

It is regarding SpamCop ID 1755704299, see whole email source end of this 
message.

RR actually replied to this report with the following message:

"My name is Martin Brice and I work for Time Warner Cable in the Network 
Security Department.  I have received the complaint you sent in to Spamcop 
about email received from [email protected].  For whatever reason your 
email is on their email list requesting information be sent to you.  If you 
no longer wish to receive email from this company please click on the 
Remove link located at the bottom of the email.  The company has been 
verified and they will not send email to your address again when you do 
this.  If you wish, you can send me your email address and I will contact 
them and tell them to remove your email."

Now checking out aaa-ink.com, the webserver feels a bit fishy. Not much 
other than directory access, with unsubscribe.html which just is a HTML 
file saying "you have been unsubscribed"

So my question, should I follow RR request and unsubscribe, possibly ending 
in more spam since link could just be for verification of emailaddress, or 
should I request RR to review the report again and tell that spam is 
somewhat illegal?
