Hi!

I'm newbie with civicrm, so I'm still learning how to configure it correctly and how to use it. So, I've got a big doubt about use of action.optOut's token in bulk emailing. As far as I know, after reading the documentation and looking arround the forum, action.optOut lets a user for avoiding been sent bulk emailing, isnt it? My problem is that when I send emailing, my FROM account is a gmail account, and action.optOut's value is something like:

Code: [Select]

mailto:o.12.19.3bf83eaa6b903404@gmail.com $:-\$

Can anyone explain me what I'm doing wrong, please?

Thanks for your patience

This works exactly as designed – the action.optOut token gets replaced with an email address the addressee can email and be opted-out. This means you need to have a return channel handling setup to receive (and process) such emails.

You have a few choices:

Use the action.optOutUrl token, which will generate URLs (clickable http://… links) to use instead),
setup a return channel properly,
(from CiviCRM 2.2 on) setup a Gmail-based return channel with CiviMail Processor and a localpart, which will generate out-out addresses lie example+o.12.19.3bf83eaa6b903404@gmail.com – in this case, the emails will end up in the example@gmail.com mailbox.
