This is not an anti-spam service. I already have three of those:
spamcop.net,
scr.im and the
ESET Smart Security program. No, this is a service that helps you
unsubscribe from all those darn email newsletters and PR announcements that I swear I never agreed to and I sure as hell aren't going to read.
Unsubscribe.com is a new service, so it's a bit rough around the edges. So try the
free version, which allows you to unsubscribe from 5 newsletters a month. This gives you the chance to check whether it works with your mail service before you liberate $19 per year for the "unlimited" plan. As I said, it isn't for "spam", but for "bacon": those email newsletters and announcements that companies love to send.

There is a
Chrome plugin for
Gmail, and an add-in for
Outlook 2007/2010 (32-bit), but no plugin (yet) for
Yahoo Mail. So instead you just forward the message to mail@unsubscribe.com, and they figure it out. You get a daily/weekly message that tells you which services have been unsubscribed, and you can unsubscribe from his too. Cool. Simple. And it seems to work pretty well.
