Seven reasons an email automation is switched on but sends nothing, from triggers that ignore existing subscribers to tag triggers with no tag. The qualify-versus-enrolled check that found 28 of our own sequences silent, and a fifteen-minute monthly audit.

Since 2024, Gmail and Yahoo require one-click unsubscribe. A mail-app button removes the reader instantly, with no page, no options and no reason. Your preference centre now reaches only footer-link leavers, so the 'less, not none' options belong inside the email.

Only the reader can reverse an unsubscribe. A fresh signup is a request, not proof. Why imports, forms and bulk edits quietly resubscribe people, and how to build a confirmation step that a link scanner or a stranger cannot trigger.

A signup spike with no launch behind it is usually list bombing. Fifteen hundred fake signups can push a welcome stream to six times Gmail's complaint limit and overstate your list by 30% to sponsors. How to spot them, why Apple Mail hides some, and how to clean up without making it worse.
