Anyone concerned that unless we get explicit opt in permission to continue sending this email, that we will have to stop?
Yes, I am not sure what to do. Do we have to ask everyone to re opt-in to site mailings?

Can someone confirm if this field upon registration is connected into subscribing the user to Andy's newsletter? As if they don't tick this, they can still register and if it's not linked, then emails will be sent out from the newsletter anyway.@Stuart Wright - when people opt into receiving admin email about site news, that should cover it, no? I think the weekly digest is a form of site news.
@AndyB and everyone else using this addon.
This is a great addon and it definitely works to get me to return to other forums using it,
However, I have been working on the best way to implement GDPR, and this addon, sadly, has to be disabled.
Unless people specifically opt in to the mailings, with a clear explanation of what they will be getting, we are breaking GDPR by sending them the digest.
On install, as I understand it, all users who receive emails from admin, are eligible to get the digest?
And they have to unsubscribe using the option linked to in the footer? (Which has never worked on our site because we have heavily modified the footer and broken the template modification).
I've used Sendy to send out 330,000 emails last week to get people to reconsent to newsletters.
Those who have reconsented have been put into a new subscribers user group. People who tick a Newsletter Subscriptions custom field are put into the user group.
Unfortunately this addon can't be used to only mail people in specific user groups.
Otherwise, we could use it. Although I'd want to create a new custom user field for opt ins to the weekly digest emails, and only those users be emailed.
Bloody GDPR. Be careful, folks.
Also, it's probably not this add-on or any other add-on, especially if other email from your forum is also getting sent to spam.The emails being sent out by this add-on are causing Google to temporarily block my other emails (forum notifications) to gmail accounts on the basis that my IP has been sending spam. I assume it's because the emails are being sent via LOCALHOSTRELAY.
How do I change the email transport method for these emails?
The link is at the bottom of your website and leads to a link like- https://forums.fordthunderbirdforum.com/weeklydigest/manage/Andy, if a member stopped receiving it (and it's watching the forum everyday), how can he suscribe again?
