Spam - Githubissues

I've been referred here by an unrequested email message that does not provide a way to unsubscribe. Either someone's spamming in your name or you're doing it yourself. Please find redacted message header enclosed:

And while you're at it, reporting @hola at https://github.com/contact?report=hola might not be a bad idea either, I figure GitHub might also want to know about a repo being advertised via spam

I'd also appreciate a way to unsubscribe from this ChallengeJS newsletter (which I didn't even sign up for). This is probably a better solution than for me to send an abuse report.

Hi kAlvaro and rieder91,

My name is Derry Shribman, CTO and co-founder of Hola.

I apologize for this matter. It was brought to our attention last week. We checked it out and found that our HR team, naively, sent such emails. They stopped immediately last week, and I've now also removed you both from our list. We've also added an 'unsubscribe' to all outgoing emails of this type that we send.

If you still see any further problems on your side, please contact me directly for immediate resolution.

Thanks! Derry
