   There are two kinds of spammers: those from a reputable company that   
   sends a lot of email, using their true email, and others that aren't   
   legit and use faked email names.   
      
   The later are a pest, and you should never respond to them or click   
   anything. Not even download online content from that email.   
      
   The legit ones, with various degrees of legitimacy, you can at least   
   easily filter them out. Some will actually unsubscribe you following   
   their instructions, but I never try.
