Because (accidentally) mailing an unsubscribed user hurts your deliverability. And because there are users out there that will attempt to add spam traps to your mailing lists, sou you keep them off the list

(double opt-in doesn't really help with the latter as you're still mailing it)

> Because (accidentally) mailing an unsubscribed user hurts your deliverability.

Simple solution: completely remove the email, and flush the cache. No accidental mailing.

As far as spamtraps go, I don’t think there’s a way to realistically address this. There’s a couple of well-known services, like spamex, but it’s easy to set them up, if you have your own domain.

I use spamex, because I want people to know it’s a spamtrap.
