Summary

0015270: [feature-request] List-Unsubscribe header

Description

The List-Unsubscribe header includes either an email address or web page that can be used for unsubscribing. It allows mail clients that support it the ability to include an "unsubscribe" link or button. Hotmail currently supports this feature and gmail list having this header in their suggested guidelines for increasing delivery rates to gmail. For more information on the header, see this page: http://www.list-unsubscribe.com/ [^]

Note, this is not intended as a replacement for the [UNSUBSCRIBE] placeholder, but as a useful counterpart.

Additional Information

I have modified the class.phplistmailer.php file to include the header with this code:
      $url = getConfig("unsubscribeurl");$sep = ereg('\?',$url)?'&':'?';
      $req = Sql_Fetch_Row_Query(sprintf("SELECT uniqid FROM %s WHERE email = '%s'",
                                          $GLOBALS["tables"]["user"],$email));
      $hash = $req[0];
      $unsubscribeurl = sprintf('%s%suid=%s',$url,$sep,$hash);
      $this->addCustomHeader("List-Unsubscribe: $unsubscribeurl");

Notes
