This isn't the first time I've heard the "don't unsubscribe" wisdom. It's logical but doesn't reflect reality.
At my last job, I was asked frequently about the volume of spam. I got less than almost anyone else in the office despite having one of the most widely publicized email addresses. Why? Because I unsubscribed whenever I got something. When I was able to convince others to unsubscribe, they saw drastic decreases in spam.
This theory relies on the idea that spammers stop spamming people they don't get a reply from, and that's lunacy. The only time they give up on an address is if the email is rejected or if they cease operations. That being the case, there's no harm in trying to unsubscribe.
To address the initial question, if this company is so notorious why aren't they blocked at the SMTP server? Your IT people ought to be able to blacklist them with very little effort.

I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.
What's a soldier to do when those two statements are in conflict with each other? Personally, I'm glad he chose the first. Few of us would have the courage.
Last time I got to name a large quantity of servers, I named them all after WW2 planes (mustang, lightning, zero, typhoon, tempest, spitfire, etc). My manager immediately made me change them all to (app01, app02, app03...) which made me wonder why he let me name them in the first place.
At home all my machines have been named after Starcraft units: lurker, raven, overlord, overseer, goliath, baneling, interceptor...
