Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/anonaddy/anonaddy/issues/524

Marketing emails have List-Unsubscribe headers that tell email clients where and what to send to unsubscribe from marketing lists. I'd like Addy to modify this so the recipient address for unsubscribing is a proxy address. This would allow unsubscribing using email clients without revealing your true address, as the unsubscribe message would go through Addy.

As discussed in #593, the List Unsubscribe should add the sender to a Block Sender rule imho.

This is a bad idea. Aliases can be for important accounts that deliver notifications too, not exclusively newsletters.

Absolutely. I'm not sure why that implies that "unsubscribe ⇒ block" is a bad idea though.

Well my thinking is this:

You receive a newsletter from your banking institution tied to your alias
You click the unsubscribe button in your mail client with the intention of unsubscribing from the newsletter only
The sender has been blocked as a result of the proposed logic
You don't receive the newsletter, but you also no longer receive important notifications

This can happen if transactional mail comes from the same address as newsletter mail

I'm not aware of any operators which send newsletter or marketing E-mails from the same From address as their real operating E-mails (for this reason). Besides, the functionality would have to be understood by the user as: "you click unsubscribe ⇒ you are blocking this sender". The user can make the call on whether that is in fact what they want or whether they want a more elaborate filter based which they would have to create by hand.

This has just been added along with the new "List-Unsubscribe Behaviour" option in account settings.
