Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to remove the list-unsubscribe header from the recipient’s email? The picture of what I’m talking about is below.  
 ![list-unsubscribe header](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/f/fb7ec59cb5ad62a876d03e7765396a2b827de42c.jpeg)

Let me clarify a little bit. Is Mautic able to send an email without the list-unsubscribe header?

Try to remove the unsubscribe from your template completely.  
But I would like to underline, that this can land you in spam:

You should not remove that link: you will increase probability of being marked as a spammer.

Hi,

I’m using Mautic at the moment to send emails manually (one by one) and be able to follow if they have been opened (like with bananatag or activecampaign).  
I have the impression that the unsubscribe element added to my email is the cause of the email being put in Promotions in gmail.

Do you also experience that?  
How can I set Mautic to not add this element for these manual emails?

Thanks in advance!  
Best,  
Pat

Hi,  
Yes it is possible, you can search for it in the code. But this is really dangerous.  
I can only see benefit to this if you NEVER EVER send more than 100-200 emails / day and you do it REALLY REALLY slow.  
There is a long conversation about this in this forum:

I can confirm @xuzo’s findings. The person he mentioned on this post earlier regarding “testing buddy” was me. He and I were thoroughly testing our deliverability for days not hours. I can confirm that there is a big bug in mautic that needs to be fixed ASAP. Here are my specs: Mautic paired with Amazon S…

Good luck to you!
