What's New Digest 5.3.0

[Sim]

I should also note that if your ESP modifies the unsubscribe headers like SparkPost does - then the unsubscribe won't work for What's New Digest emails.

However, assuming you have implemented a system to capture the unsubscribe notification coming from your ESP and turn off "Receive news and update emails" setting for the user when they unsubscribe (which is the default behaviour of XenForo), then you should make sure the "Only send to users opting to receive news and update emails" option is turned on in the What's New Digest options in the Admin CP, which will ensure digest emails aren't sent to users who have unsubscribed.

I use Amazon SES and I have absolutely no idea whether it modifies headers or what happens with the unsubscribe link.

Thanks for the update.

Send yourself a test digest email using the updated test tool in Admin CP in the new version.

Then look at the message source of the email you get sent - the unsubscribe header added by XenForo looks like the following:

List-Unsubscribe: <http://xenforo23.test/index.php?email-stop/1/unsubscribe&c=f7ffc07e23a4ed4277883567d6417a02>

... where obviously it will have your forum URL in the link.

If it doesn't look like that but instead the list unsubscribe header points to a different URL (including anything with mailto: in it), then the header has been re-written by your sending platform and unsubscribes may not explicitly disable What's New Digest emails.

In this case, just make sure you use the "Only send to users opting to receive news and update emails" option to avoid sending What's New Digest emails to users who have unsubscribed. If you don't want to have that option checked for other reasons - we'll need to investigate another option for supporting unsubscribes from What's New Digest emails.

Are you using a 3rd party addon to enable sending emails via Amazon SES and process bounced emails? Or are you just sending via SMTP?
