I like mail list king. It's a terrific program.
But I wonder if there is any way to create a link that i can put into the text of an email message which will allow a subscriber to unsubscribe from our mailing list with one click ?
We are getting complaints from our isp from people who are having trouble unsubscribing even though we provide them several ways to do it either by entering their email address in a form on our website or sending a blank email to one of our email adresses.
Anyway, I love the program, but I would like to add a single click opt out in the body of our email if possible. |

I wanted to update everyone and thank them for their help.
We have implemented the second solution xequte recommended. It works wonderfully.
If you would like to see an example of it go to
http://www.sensationaldeals.com/unsubscribe7.htm
Anyone may download this page if they care to. It contains Java code which may help you implement this solution if you are a programmer. The only drawback we find is that we have to send individual emails which takes longer than if we were to use the BCC field. But it is worth it for us.
Anyway, we love the software, we hope you keep improving and perfecting it, and just for the hell of it, we gave mail list king a link at our site. http://www.sensationaldeals.com/partners.htm

The easiest way is simply to use a mailto link in your email, for example:
<a href="mailto:maillist@mycompany.com?subject=Unsubscribe">Click here to unsubscribe</A>
If you are sending individual emails to each recipient, then a more elaborate way is to set up a web script that automatically sends an unsubscribe message passing the e-mail address that is posted to it, e.g.:
<a href="http://www.mycompany.com/cgi-bin/unsubscribe.cgi?email=%EMAIL%">Click here to unsubscribe</A>
MLK will replace the %EMAIL% field with the user's email address.
Your cgi script just needs to send you a message with the subject:
UNSUBSCRIBE Some_Email
Replacing Some_Email with that referenced by the passed parameter, "email"

Nigel,
MLK works nicely and your suggestion on the single button unsubscribe is very usefull.
However we are using "member sending" only and I did not yet found a way to include the email address and the group of the receiver of the message. If I use %email% I get the email address of the sender of the message. Am I stupid or looking with closed eyes? |

Hi
I'm afraid the destination email address is not supported in member sent messages. I'll look into that for the next release.

Nigel, i saw that I made nearly the same issue earlier this year. I'.m sorry for this.
Would it be possible to introduce a new set of parameters called for instance %Remail% , %Rfullname% etc which in normal email sending are equal to %email% etc, but in member sending represents the receivers data? This would ensure downward compatiblility i think and could be easy to implement. |
