How do I stop spams from a drug company whose "unsubscribe" button just goes directly to their home page?

Just ignore them and put them straight to spam, if your clicking the link they know its an active email

That's about it: tell your e-mail it's spam, it will get put there.

You can't, because they are scum and don't care!

If you click on their "unsubscribe" option you simply comfirm that your e-mail address is live, which will then be sold to other scum to send you even more spam.

Thanks guys. I send them to a Junk folder but my mail programme seems to miss some - and also move some genuine messages to junk by mistake. So I'll just have to put up with the bloody things them

Your mail programme sounds really bad. I've never had that even with pre-historic Freeserve in past. Only the ones I wanted to send to spam folder went there unless I made a mistake with my own typing fingers.

Go Optic Fibre, David.
