Looks like you did the right thing...

Have you got multiple email addresses, e.g. automatic forwarding from
one email address to another? This might confuse the issue (i.e. make
sure that you unsubscribe the correct one ...). You probably checked
this already, but better safe than sorry.

According to :
$ echo '2 ^ 365' | bc

Something like this (slightly reformatted)
75.153.362.648.762.663.292.463.379.097.258.784.876.021.841.565.066.235.862.633.311.089.030.688.803.667.470.190.838.367.948.312.598.497.021.919.232 

= infinity as far as I am concerned.
