E-list Configuration: Do Members Confirm When They Leave? (Lyris)

This article applies to: E-lists (Lyris)

Log in to the Lyris administrator web interface.
- How do I log in?
- Take me to the login page.
On the left, click Utilities.
Hover over List Settings. A sub-menu will open.
Select New Subscriber Policy.
Click the gray Confirmation tab.
From the Confirm unsubscribes drop-down, select the desired option:
- Never ask for confirmation when a member unsubscribes by email - all leave commands from members will be processed immediately.
- Require confirmation for all email unsubscriptions - Lyris will send a confirmation message when it receives a leave request from a member. The member must respond by clicking on a link in that message. We recommend this setting.
Click Save.
