Our members with [outlook.com](http://outlook.com) email addresses automatically get unsubscribed by [Outlook.com](http://Outlook.com) each time they received an email from Mautic.

We are not talking about Outlook client … but the [outlook.com](http://outlook.com) email addresses itself.

Are you using a preference centre? Could it be that the mail scanner checks all links and hits an unsubscribe link which directly unsubscribes them? A preference centre might stop that as you have to interact with it to be removed. Worth a look, at least!

We’re not using preference center.

And it’s possible that your theory could be spot on. Thank you!

I am waiting on @joeyk to release his next video before building our preference center 🙂

It’s not the unsubscribe link.

I completely edit out the unsubscribe link from template and I did another sent test.

The [Outlook.com](http://Outlook.com) unsubscribe the contact again and there were no unsubscribe link anywhere in the email source.

I checked all [Outlook.com](http://Outlook.com) setting to make sure I didn’t have anything that would automatically unsubscribe my [outlook.com](http://outlook.com) email from listserv or email marketing and I did not find anything in the [outlook.com](http://outlook.com) settings.

But …

We do have hundreds of subscribers with an [outlook.com](http://outlook.com) email address that are receiving out weekly newsletter without being unsubscribed.

It’s several subscribers including one of my [outlook.com](http://outlook.com) email that is being automatically unsubscribed as soon the email lands in the inbox.
