Hi,

My domain has been blacklisted as spam by yahoo. I suspect it was because I allowed subscriptions to the entire board and members just marked the emails as spam instead of signing into the forum to unsubscribe.
How do I include in every email sent to members a link which will let them unsubscribe to this specific topic and a link which will let them unsubscribe from all topics, forums, categories etc...<
 Sort direction, for dates DESC means newest first

It's in inc_subscription.asp.
Here's what I got...
Code:

strMessage = strMessage & "  The topic title is ''" & TopicName & "''" & vbNewline
strMessage = strMessage & " You can view the posting at " & strForumURL & "topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=" & TopicId
if NewReplyId > 0 then strMessage = strMessage & "&whichpage=-1&REPLY_ID=" & NewReplyId
strMessage = strMessage & vbNewline & vbNewline
strMessage = strMessage & " Manage your subscriptions at " & strForumURL & "subscription_list.asp" & vbNewline

At most, what I added is the part in bold. This will add a link right to the subscription page. I think I added the linebreaks too.

Thanks,

Say they forgot their login or password,
Is there a way for them to unsubscribe without signing in?<

If they don't identify themselves, how would it be possible to identify them?! It would be very risky to do it without a login. Anyone could unsubscribe every member it so wished!<

Well each email would include a link containing that particular members unique subscription id.

Just like with New Pending Members when I send them a verification email, it includes a randomly generated unique verification id which is part of the link. (I think it works that way. Correct me if I'm wrong)<

Well, it doesn't work that way now. There are no random id's, they are sequential and so susceptible to the problem I described.<

That would be easily enough modified to use random links (something like I wrote for the newsletter mod).<
