Think about it. If they don’t keep your email that you unsubscribed then if it comes in through another data source or is reloaded then it’ll subscribe you again. Keeping track ensures they don’t do it accidentally or automatically. Or for exports/backups etc.
- chomp 3y agoYep, I maintain a few Mailchimp mailing lists for our nonprofit, I periodically reaggregate, import, pull in new data feeds, etc. and Mailchimp will maintain the unsubscribe list. If I reimport an email on accident that's already unsubscribed, I'd never want to accidentally re-email the person again.
- gumby 3y agoShould you not want to only subscribe people who explicitly ask? When I get unsolicited mail I definitely send it straight to trash, I don't even try to be nice.
- sneak 3y agoPeople like us are outliers. Most people get notifications for every email they receive, and are used to getting emails from every business with which they transact.

- gumby 3y agoWhat do you mean? If I change my email address, having the old one on file won't help keep me from getting spam at the new one.
