Introduction
It is mandatory to have a unsubscribe link in the email in compliance with anti-spam laws.
We, at Vtiger, try our best to make sure that you make most out of email campaigns to grow your business. In compliance with the anti-spam laws, we have made it mandatory for you to insert an unsubscribe link in the email templates. Let your customers decide whether or not to receive emails from you. After all, unsubscribing is the best possible way for your customers to express unwillingness and opt themselves out from the existing emailing list. If not, they may tend to doing something perilous such as reporting spam which is unhealthy for your email campaigning.
