'unsubscribe'... from what? If I just bought something from service ABC, and I get an email from ABC saying "you just bought foo from us"... what would an 'unsubscribe' even mean? "Do not ever email me about this purchase again?" "Do not ever email me about future purchases?"

- cdot2 5y agoThis actually does cause problems with blocked password resets and things
- tomerv 5y agoIf I request a password reset, that constitutes an approval to send me that email.
- mgkimsal 5y agohow do you know it's 'you' that requested it? if I requested a password reset to your email... is it spam?
- dredmorbius 5y agoAnd if I didn't request a password reset ... I'd like to hear about it.
- cdot2 5y agoSome systems might just block all outgoing emails to anyone who has clicked unsubscribe which would block password resets as well
