"Legit" in that it will unsubscribe you from that exact list but not the 100 others they added you to at the same time.

Totally true, but sometimes people just want to unsubscribe to a mailing list they got in because they forgot to uncheck the box "send me promotions" when buying something online, or maybe they even signed up on purpose in the past. Still, some of these just mark the mails as spam not to get them any more.
