## Opt out or unsubscribe management: Ensuring transparent sender reputation
21-
It's important to know how interested your customers are in your email communication and to respect their opt-out or unsubscribe requests when they decide not to get emails from you. This helps you keep a good sender reputation. Whether you have a manual or automated process in place for handling unsubscribes, it's important to provide an "unsubscribe" link in the email payload you send. When recipients decide not to receive further emails, they can click on the 'unsubscribe' link and remove their email address from your mailing list.

The functionality of the links and instructions in the email is vital; they must be working correctly and promptly notify the application mailing list to remove the contact from the appropriate list or lists. A proper unsubscribe mechanism should be explicit and transparent from the subscriber's perspective, ensuring they know precisely which messages they're unsubscribing from. Ideally, they should be offered a preferences center that gives them the option to unsubscribe in cases where they're subscribed to multiple lists within your organization. This process prevents accidental unsubscribes and allows users to manage their opt-in and opt-out preferences effectively through the unsubscribe management process.
