My pet peeve, companies that don't unsubscribe immediately. Apple for example says they'll unsubscribe you in 10 days. Given all the other things a company's systems can do immediately this one strikes me as spammy


Many companies say 10 days as a legal CYA (10 days is the limit imposed by CAN-SPAM Act). In practice, despite what they say, it's usually instant.


The companies where I have noticed this it is mainly because they send so much email that the email might already be sitting in the outgoing queue waiting to be delivered...


not 10 consecutive days of course. just 10 random days in the future of our choosing.
