Miscellaneous Settings
Application URL	Enter Interspire Email Marketer’s full URL (Uniform Resource Locator), for example “https://www.example.com/examplefolder/”.
Contact Email Address	Enter the email address to which users’ forgotten password requests should be sent.
IP Address Tracking	Select this to log the IP address used when a contact subscribes to or unsubscribes from a list. Deselect this if you do not want to log IP addresses.
Use “Multiple Unsubscribe”	Select this to present subscribers with a list of the contact lists they belong to when they click an unsubscribe link, so they can choose which ones to leave. Note: Your contact list names are shown to the subscriber, so make sure they are named in a way you are happy for recipients to see.
Let contacts modify their own email	Select this to allow contacts to change their own email address through a Modify details form. Note: A contact who changes their address this way does not have to opt in again, so the new address inherits the old address’s subscription.
Idempotent Unsubscribe	Select this to treat repeated unsubscribe requests as a success rather than an error. Recommended. Mailbox providers and security scanners frequently follow an unsubscribe link more than once. With this off, the second visit reports a failure, which some providers read as a broken unsubscribe. See One-Click Unsubscribe.
System Message	If you want a message to display to your users when they log in to Interspire Email Marketer, enter the message here. The message displays beneath the usage graph in the Home screen.

License Email Address	Enter the email address associated with your Interspire Email Marketer license purchase. This must match the address on the licence, not simply an administrator’s address.
Test Sending
Test Sending System	Enter an email address (to which you have access) in this field and click Send to test the email sending system. If the email arrives in the address’s inbox, the sending system is working correctly. Note: Configure global email server settings in the Email settings tab’s Mail server details section.

Click Save to save your changes. Alternatively, click Cancel to return to the Home screen without saving any changes.

One-Click Unsubscribe

Major mailbox providers require bulk senders to support one-click unsubscribe (RFC 8058). Interspire Email Marketer handles this through the List-Unsubscribe header, configured on this screen.

The HTTPS unsubscribe URI is always included. It is what satisfies the one-click requirement, and there is no setting to turn it off. The fields below only control the optional mailto: fallback that sits alongside it.

List-Unsubscribe One-Click mailto: fallback	Select this to add a mailto: entry to the List-Unsubscribe header in addition to the HTTPS URI. This provides compatibility with older mail clients that do not support the HTTPS method.
One-Click Mailto Address	The email address used for the mailto: fallback, applied system-wide. A secure token is included in the message body parameter so the request can be matched back to the right contact and campaign.

If you enable the fallback, make sure the address you enter is a real, monitored mailbox on a domain you control. Unsubscribe requests arriving there are processed automatically via the token, but a bouncing or non-existent address is worse than no fallback at all.

Tip

Pair this with Idempotent Unsubscribe in the table above. Providers often probe unsubscribe endpoints more than once, and the two settings together ensure a repeated request is answered with a success rather than an error.
