By [Agent Wranglers](https://agentwranglers.se/authors/agent-wranglers.md). Updated 2026-10-27. - ID: EML-28 - Level: Required - Chapter: [Unsubscribe](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/email/unsubscribe.md) - Rule: Stop sending to anyone who unsubscribes within two days, and never ask them to log in or confirm by email. - Check: Unsubscribe a test address, then trigger a send from every tool that mails that list. No message reaches it. - Risk: A law broken - Applies when: The project sends email. - How: Process unsubscribe requests at once and add the address to the suppression list. Check that list in the send step itself, not only when a list is exported, so every tool and queue honours it. Gmail and Yahoo expect two days. US law (CAN-SPAM) allows at most ten business days, and EU law requires withdrawal to be as easy as consent. ## Sources - [CAN-SPAM Act, 15 U.S.C. 7704](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USCODE-2023-title15/html/USCODE-2023-title15-chap103-sec7704.htm) - [GDPR Article 7, Conditions for consent](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2016/679/oj) ## Related rules - EML-18 [Meet the bulk sender rules](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/email/deliverability/bulk-sender-rules.md) in Email - EML-27 [Offer one-click unsubscribe](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/email/unsubscribe/one-click-unsubscribe.md) in Email - EML-72 [Keep a suppression entry when you erase a contact](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/email/email-privacy/suppression-after-erasure.md) in Email - NTF-24 [Stop at the first STOP](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/notifications/text-messages/sms-stop-keywords.md) in Notifications **For agents:** this playbook is free to use under [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which requires credit with a link.
