Unjunk Mail -- How to Stop Junk Mail: The Best and Worst Do Not Mail Lists and Services
,September 9th, 2009
This past summer, Unjunk Mail’s research team did its best to analyze all of the services out there that help consumers stop receiving direct mail.
We signed up for the Do Not Mail lists you can join for free and reviewed the services that charge fees. We found that some of the tools are easy to use while others were more time-consuming: they demanded lots of personal information and had clunky interfaces. However, the services that ask for more information often provide consumers more control over what flows into their mailboxes. So if you really want to battle the junk in your box, you need to be willing to invest a little time in the fight.
