Every time an Amazon recruiter emails me, I reply back CC'ing every previous Amazon recruiter. I say "Thanks <new person name> but I'm not interested in working for Amazon. <Previous recruiters>: I previously asked to be taken off the mailing list- what happened?"

I got to 4 people on my list before the emails stopped coming.

At what point does that become harassment?
Truthfully, I know some of those recruiters personally. I don't hold it against them. They're paid terribly and their job is at risk if they don't get candidates.

I just be as polite as I can, but I hold them to their word.

I don't mean harassment by the recruiters, especially if it's the first contact. But surely the recruiting division has a database of people they've contacted and who asked not to be contacted again?
