Suggestions wanted: Self hosted newsletter unsubscriber

Norgur@kbin.social to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 17 points –

Hey there,

I recently got increasingly annoyed by all the newsletters that keep to pop up in my (admittedly rather old) E-Mail-Accounts and I thought it might be a cool idea to have them unsubscribed from in bulk. Now I know of services like unroll.me, but those will of course scrape everything they can from your mail account. So: Is there any self-hosted alternative to these services so I can run them myself?

Thanks in advance :)

That would be neat. I recently started using Fastmail which offers a feature for this. They have some info on how it works which could give ideas to selfhost. Like which headers it uses. https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/6905792637967-Unsubscribe

I never noticed fastmail has this, probably because I don't use the webmail interface as often. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah I didn’t see the option until I started using their mobile app.

If you are hosting your own mail server, a procmail recipe shouldn't be too difficult. I run mimedefang, so could do it there too, but that's a whole lot of overkill if you don't already have that.
