How do you deal with persistent spam from a specific tech company?


Magicbricks is a large real-estate portal based out of India. I created my account earlier this year and received a ton of marketing emails. I unsubscribed but continued to received emails.

Next, I proceeded to delete my account. The emails didn't stop.

I raised concern on Twitter. Their support staff assured me the emails would stop. They didn't.

I keep marking their emails as SPAM in Gmail but Gmail doesn't seem to learn the behaviour.

I could create a filter and automatically send their emails to spam but that feels like a personal defeat.

HN: What would you do?

Create the filter, move on with my life. Easy to filter if the emails always come from the same domain. Do you really need to feel anything (like defeat) about this?

IP block on their SMTP sender endpoint. But then I host my own email myself, so I can do such things with ease.
