Vision6 is an Australian email marketing platform serving SMBs, associations, and government agencies across Asia-Pacific with strong local data residency and support for AU/NZ compliance requirements. The unsubscribe mechanism uses the {{Unsubscribe}} merge tag auto-injected into every campaign footer, and Vision6 emits RFC 8058 headers automatically for authenticated sending domains. Consent is tracked at the list level with a preference center option available. Australian Spam Act 2003 compliance is enforced by default. This guide covers the tag, the AU regulatory model, and how to verify the setup end to end.

How to add the unsubscribe tag in Vision6
Place the merge tag exactly as shown below in the email template. Vision6 replaces it at send time with a signed URL scoped to the recipient and campaign.
{{Unsubscribe}}For custom HTML templates, wrap the tag in an anchor to render a proper hyperlink in the delivered email:
<a href="{{Unsubscribe}}">Unsubscribe from this list</a>Auto-embedded in every campaign footer
Yes, automatic for authenticated sending domains The recipient's mailbox provider (Gmail, Yahoo) uses the List-Unsubscribe-Post header to expose the native one-click button on the message. Requires domain authentication with DKIM and DMARC.
Vision6 Australian Spam Act 2003 compliance is enforced by default, meaning imported contact lists without documented consent are quarantined until confirmed. Legacy accounts migrating from other ESPs must provide consent documentation for each contact or run a re-permission campaign before campaign sends can proceed. This is stricter than US CAN-SPAM but matches AU/NZ regulatory expectations.

- Send a test message to a controlled Gmail address you own via the Vision6 campaign preview action
- Click the footer unsubscribe link and confirm the opt-out on the landing page
- Check the subscriber or contact record: the status should be Unsubscribed within seconds

Australian Spam Act 2003 enforcement
Vision6 Australian Spam Act 2003 compliance is enforced by default, meaning imported contact lists without documented consent are quarantined until confirmed. Legacy accounts migrating from other ESPs must provide consent documentation for each contact or run a re-permission campaign before campaign sends can proceed. This is stricter than US CAN-SPAM but matches AU/NZ regulatory expectations. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) enforces the Spam Act 2003 with fines up to AUD 2.22 million per day for repeat corporate offenders, making platform-level enforcement particularly valuable for AU senders.
RFC 8058 one-click headers
Vision6 added RFC 8058 one-click unsubscribe automatically ahead of the Google and Yahoo February 2024 requirements. The List-Unsubscribe and List-Unsubscribe-Post headers inject on every marketing send from domains authenticated under Settings > Sender identity. SPF and DKIM records must be verified. Australian data residency in local data centers matches AU government agency data localization requirements, an important differentiator for federal and state government Vision6 customers.
Asia-Pacific deliverability and local peering
Vision6 operates IP infrastructure with peering to Asia-Pacific email networks (BigPond, Optus, Telstra, iiNet, Xtra.co.nz), giving strong deliverability to regional inbox providers alongside global inboxes. AU/NZ senders targeting predominantly domestic audiences see better regional inbox placement via Vision6 than through global ESPs due to local network peering. Complaint feedback from local providers is processed in real time and syncs to the account-wide suppression list.
