I have been receiving porno e-mails that I don't want/didn't subscribe to. When I click on the button that should unsubmit me from future mailings, I get an e-mail saying that it wasn't deliverable. How do I get these people to understand I don't want their e-mail if I can't communicate with them?

Most of the "from" addresses are fake and even if they weren't, you shouldn't even try to unsubscribe because it will most likely just be confirming that your address is a valid one and they'll probably then sell it to others, so you'll get even more junk.
Open a hotmail account and only use it to register at websites and try to use filters to filter out the junk on your main account.

In addition to Mickey's suggestions, I will add that most of the major online providers (AOL, Prodigy, etc.) have some sort of department that you can forward these messages to so that they can try to catch them. I know AOL has an address something like "toss spam" because my mom uses it all the time.
Good Luck!!

I've been getting a lot of those type too. Some even about Animal porn!8o I don't even want to think what that's all about!!
I do like Mickey says and have one web based email for registering on sites--which is where I get all this junk. If available you could block the addresses or if you have filters you can specify what things in the subject line or text of the email would indicated mail you don't want. (for example: If the subject line contains PORN send to trash
Good luck!!
