Is there an e-mail address to which I can forward junk mail where they will activate the "unsubscribe" button so that I do not have to risk clicking on it myself? I must get at least two dozen of these messages every day and I am tired of it.

No, this is part of their marketing scheme/plan.

They want to know why you're leaving and attempt to fix it.

Try creating a rule in your email client that automatically moves email addresses from their domain to your junk box or directly to the trash.

I actually click the unsubscribe links because I find that most of my junk comes from the same people - only with different subjects and in excess. It takes likes 7-10 days before it slows down, but i find it worth the effort. once you get it under control, it usually stays that way.
