Unsubscribing from unsolicited spam will (a) do nothing, or (b) confirm that your address is valid, guaranteeing you more spam. Opting out is great if you opted in, but I'm pretty sure nobody opted in in this case.

Since I never set the 986forum pref to share my email with anyone except admins, yet I too am receiving the same spam, my guess is that a VBulletin exploit has exposed our email addresses.
