In my opinion CI Host are one of the worst companies in the entire world.

Their service is terrible, they do not let you cancel accounts when they break their own SLA, they do not stop spamming you and use billing practices that are close to extorsion. They threaten to send in debt collecters when you change credit cards (because after 3 months of Emails, faxes, et-al they still wont cancel the monthly account).

I ended up complaining to the BBB, who i beleive have a long, long list of complaints on this company. They then backed down, before (mysteriously) adding me back onto their Email list a month later and demanding another $18.

It is apparent to me that even they know they have built the business around shocking service.

I am having a similar problem with the Xbox Live newsletter. In the email it says if I login to their website there is an option to not recieve emails. I did this but I am still getting them. I have also tried emailing various addresses, but nothing.

Now Gmail just classes it as junk.

Good luck. Getting off of lists is usually almost impossible. I used to work for a major, Austin based computer company (easy to guess) and once a customer was on the “email me great deals” list, it took an act of Congress to get them removed.
