How to stop press release spam? Post embargoed PRs. Here's one about Mayans using tobacco.

Just got this press release by email. I am sick of receiving dozens of unsolicited press releases, especially those in topics not related to my work.

Here is one I just got about Mayans using tobacco. Wonder how many stories will make jokes about whether this is what led to their demise?
