Can someone please tell me how do I disable the unsubscribe button from sign up confirmation email? [image]

I just tested this again here on meta and here we don’t have that Unsubscribe link at the top, like in your screenshot. So it likely does have to do with your email service which is sending your emails as though they are newsletters, not transactional email. You’ll have to ask them about it. What happens when you click on that Unsubscribe link? It won’t take you to Discourse because there is no unsubscribe function for transactional emails like signup confirmation.

If Discourse adds an unsubscribe link in the footer, it’ll also be in a mail header which is automatically surfaced by some mail clients (such as Gmail) as an easily visible Unsubscribe link at the top: List-Unsubscribe: List-Unsubscribe-Post: List-Unsubscribe=One-Click … To unsubscribe from these emails, [click here](https://meta.discourse.org/email/unsubscribe/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyabcdefghijklm).

This means your email provider is adding that List-Unsubscribe header to your outgoing email. The easiest way to sort this out is to look at the account confirmation email and find the header, then report back its contents (redacting the actual token as I’ve done above).

Which service sends your emails? Sometimes you can deactivate it via the List-Unsubscribe header.
