Did you mean "and is NOT triggered by email scanners"?

AFAIU, "email scanners" get more aggressive over time, so there is no once-and-forever solution. I guess AI-enabled email scanners can attempt to solve captchas as well.

Yeah, use `List-Unsubscribe`. Has the additional advantage that I don't need to find the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of some bloaty HTML, works across languages etc.

If the email scanner of your recipient insists on clicking "unsubscribe" on their behalf without that being the desired outcome, that's not on you to prevent them from.

I mean if your unsubscribe link unsubscribes someone just because Microsoft Email Phishing for Copilot visited the link to see if it was a Virus, then you need to “get gud” as the kids say.
