Gmail auto unsubscribe and pilot FBL

Starting from last week, gmail has implemented an auto list unsubscribe in the header of the email.
See illustration below:

gmail auto unsub

 

 

 

 

After clicking the link, the user will then need to click to confirm you want to unsubscribe from the mailing list:
unsubscribe-supported

 

 

 

If for example, the client doesnt support this setup with gmail or the email is spam, then gmail redirects the member to navigate the clients unsubscribe or gmail policies to see the best way to be removed from the mailing list.

unsubscribe-notsupported

 

 

 

 

This might cause some uproar, but this is no showstopper in my mind. If a member doesnt want your email anyway, then better they unsubscribe directly than to complain. Look after your list and gmail will look after your reputation.
