[Eye Opener] Should You Click on Unsubscribe?
By Roger A. Grimes.
Some common questions we get are "Should I click on an unwanted email's 'Unsubscribe' link? Will that lead to more or less unwanted email?"
The short answer is that, in general, it is OK to click on a legitimate vendor's unsubscribe link. But if you think the email is sketchy or coming from a source you would not want to validate your email address as valid and active, or are unsure, do not take the chance, skip the unsubscribe action.
In many countries, legitimate vendors are bound by law to offer (free) unsubscribe functionality and abide by a user's preferences. For example, in the U.S., the 2003 CAN-SPAM Act states that businesses must offer clear instructions on how the recipient can remove themselves from the involved mailing list and that request must be honored within 10 days.
Note: Many countries have laws similar to the CAN-SPAM Act, although with privacy protection ranging the privacy spectrum from very little to a lot more protection. The unsubscribe feature does not have to be a URL link, but it does have to be an "internet-based way." The most popular alternative method besides a URL link is an email address to use.
In some cases, there are specific instructions you have to follow, such as put "Unsubscribe" in the subject of the email. Other times you are expected to craft your own message. Luckily, most of the time simply sending any email to the listed unsubscribe email address is enough to remove your email address from the mailing list.
