Hi there,

I am trying to add the SMTP to the header of my emails following the following instructions here: Technical recommendations

However, I can;t make it work. I have built the link by adding the URL unsubscribe email address on the webappp and the ide recipient Crypt link. It looks as below:

Could you advise please?

Thanks,

C

Hi Florent,

Although it did not work, I don't think David's suggestion was wrong as it was working for him. I just pasted my unsubscribed link and send an email with some HTML content on (I was just sending a lorem ipsum email). It then worked.

Thanks for your help and patience.

Hi Florent,

I hope you are well.

I am experiencing a similar issue where I am implementing the List Unsubscribe setup in my deliveries. I have used the code you supplied:

<% if ((recipient.domain == 'gmail.com')|| (recipient.domain == 'gmail.co.uk')){%> Precedence: bulk <%}%>

List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:<%@ include option='NmsEmail_DefaultErrorAddr' %>?subject=unsubscribe<%= escape(message.mimeMessageId) %>>

This code is working in the Gmail but not in hotmail/ outlook. I have even tried stripping off the if statement and just using:

List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:<%@ include option='NmsEmail_DefaultErrorAddr' %>?subject=unsubscribe<%= escape(message.mimeMessageId) %>>

But again the same results. It shows the feedback loop option to unsubscribe in Gmail but not working in Hotmail/ Outlook...

Is there anything else to try and test? I have also noticed that the same code is working for Gmail AND hotmail in:

version 6.1.1 build 8883 - App server build 8850

and not in

version 6.1.1 build 8883 - App server build 8797

Could this be causing this issue?

Kind regards,

Majid Awan

Carlota,

List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:<%@ include option='NmsEmail_DefaultErrorAddr' %>?subject=unsubscribe<%= escape(message.mimeMessageId) %>>

Cpy and paste the code above under your SMTP tab.

Thanks

David

Hi David,

Thanks fro your reply too.

I have followed your advise and it's not working so I must be doing something wrong.

See screenshot below:

Questions:

- The mailto: needs to go to unusubscribe@domain.com or needs to be substituted by another email address?

- I have tried to paste the unsubscribe webapp public URL instad of the encrypted preloading link but is not working neither.

When I sent an email and I checked it out in Outlook, the link it's not showing and I am still having the option to mark as a spam.:

And same on Gmail:

Any further help, would b appreciate it (trying to fix this for two days and can't get it to work!)

Best,

Carlota

Microsoft recently confirmed changes to how they support the list-unsubscribe header in their webmail interfaces, and now only accept the mailto URI. While Gmail will honor either the http or the mailto URI.

Try this

List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:<%@ include option='NmsEmail_DefaultErrorAddr' %>?subject=unsubscribe<%= escape(message.mimeMessageId) %>>

or what I have in the screenshot attached.

Both are working for me.

Hi David,

I'm trying with Outlook webapp. Could it be that the unsubscribe link is wrong? I never had an issue when I did it on my previous company... literally been trying the whole day and the link is not showing up!

Best,

C

Carlota,

Which ISPs are you using for your testing?

If gmail, please check your email original to see if you have the list unsubscribe.

Even if an email messages includes a list-unsubscribe header, Gmail's user interface will not display the "unsubscribe" link if Google believes the sender's reputation is poor.

You can try with Outlook and Yahoo also.

Thanks.

David
