No, and what is worse, the "survey" will contain an opt-in for email
marketing check-box that is checked on by default, and given a css
style of "display: none;" so that upon submitting the survey, you have
'agreed' to be sent emails again, continuing the cycle....

My other solution to some of this problem is to give each company a
custom, unique, email address.  That way if one of them abuses the
privlidge, I just remove the alias for them, and all of their emails
simply bounce from that point onward.
