Or they could simply input an opt-out link on every email sent. Bulk email providers like Aweber and Getresponse do this easily.

The Yesmail issue shouldn’t be difficult at all. Presumably they have a list of everyone they sent email to. All they need to do is add that list to the “approved senders” filter in their spam blocker and it’s all good.

OR, they could have a separate mailserver that accepts only opt-out requests, so that spam that server receives is simply ignored.
