I do both

Director, Information Security Engineering and Operations in Manufacturing, 5,001 - 10,000 employees

I do none.
Both options are a waste of time and effort.
I usually kill the email based on the subject line.

It's worth noting that I don't use Outlook's preview pane, so I don't see the email's content at all before making a decision.

Don't let sales people determine how you use your time.

Senior Director, Defense Programs in Software, 5,001 - 10,000 employees

I filter everything with the word “unsubscribe” into a folder. I can scan through that at my leisure.

I used to report it as spam, but we’ve moved to an abysmal tool so I don’t bother.
