I asked myself a 1000 times, why this is not a standard feature.

thx a lot!

p.s. how is it handled? does the user have to log in to unsubscribe, after clicking the link in the mail?

It adds a tab to your Email Manager...

It's done by basically unchecking the "Allow Administrators to send me Mail" setting in the UserCP. I was considering having it unsubscribe by userid, so you wouldn't have to login, but there'd be issues with people unsubscribing other users; at present, the logged in user is the one who's unsubscribed.

I wondered too why this wasn't a standard feature, a friend of mine's site had just recently been informed by Google that large numbers of their users had been blacklisting his mail -- which is I why I wanted this for my own board.

thats the issue i asked for, right! thx. others are the worst, as they always are. so this is the better way.

eh. perhaps.... more better.... to generate a randomized string added to the url.... so, if the user forgot the password, theres no trouble getting a new one to leave the newsletter.... perhaps for the next version? would be very nice....

e.g. you could easily take the md5-password as an additional variable to the url? so this would authenticate the user? unsubscribe-link: xxxxxx.com/xxxxxx.php?uid=123&identify=3458a89ae94498934 ....
