TheFilmGod Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I'm creating an online application. A users who registered will have an email sent to them for account activation. Until they click on the provided link, they aren't "officially" in the database. I would like to provide the "unsubscribe" link in ALL of my emails, even those in which a user is not "officially" saved in my database. How would I go around providing users the ability to unsubscribe from my emails? Should I create a blacklist of unsubscribed emails as a table in mysql? And everytime I want to send an email, I would check against the database to see if that user's email is in the blacklist, and if it is, do not send the email. Does this seem like a logical way of doing it? How do you guys manage your "unsubscribed" users? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignace Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Add a field subscription_status VARCHAR(12) which can hold (subscribed, unsubscribed, pending, renewed, ..) probably don't need no explanation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
