List-Unsubscribe Header Generator

Older sibling of the one-click builder. Produces a List-Unsubscribe header (without the POST extension) for legacy compatibility with older mail clients.

Header to add to every send
List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:unsubscribe@example.com>, <https://example.com/unsubscribe?id=abc123>
What it does

Builds the header from a mailto: address and an https: URL. Validates the formatting; List-Unsubscribe requires angle brackets and comma separation.

When to use

Any list send. Even where one-click isn't required, having a valid List-Unsubscribe header improves inbox placement and reduces 'mark as spam' clicks.

FAQ

Do I need both mailto and URL?+

Recommended. Different mail clients prefer different methods. Including both maximizes the chance the recipient's client renders a native unsubscribe button instead of relying on body-link unsubscribes.

A correct DNS record on paper still fails 12% of the time at the receiver. Outsolvi watches every send and flags auth failures, opens that look like proxies, and bounces in real time. From $7/user/mo yearly.

Nate built Outsolvi after watching every email-tracking tool he had ever used lie to him about opens. Outsolvi runs Tier 1 to 5 confidence scoring on every open, native in Outlook and Gmail, so the number on the dashboard is one a rep can actually act on.
