Doesn't seem like it's law. At least not yet.

So, anybody know how to remove somebody from the "All Customers" list?

Thanks,

That seems to refer to putting tracking cookies on a persons computer.
Nothing to do with opt in or out newsletters etc??

Law or not, enough customers complaining to their ISPs about unwanted advertising (aka spam), and you will start getting blocked by ISPs and blacklist organizations.

You guys are awesome.

Why is there an e-mail "All Customers" choice? Is that a mistake?

Does anybody without an opinion have an answer to my original question? Is there a way to remove the customer from future coupon e-mailings?

Thanks,

I don't see an option for what you want to do. 'All Customers' is, I guess, 'all customers' and the only way I see to remove the guy from that list would be to remove his account (which might be an option, depending on how much he buys). Maybe 'active customers in last 3 months (regardless of subscription status) might be a reasonable compromise.

Don't be too hard on the posters who offer advice rather than solutions - offering insight about the advisability of what you're asking about is part of what we do here. It's not a Knowledge Base, it's a community.

Thanks for your opinion, but that's up to me to decide who will receive our marketing materials. As far as I'm concerned, marketing materials are not newsletters.

Regardless of how you name it.
Spam is SPAM

Under todays laws, maybe!

For your "marketing Materials"
You could export your database (and delete customers as
required ) to a specialised email external mailer program.
If you have a large number of customers you would want to "throttle" the number of emails sent so you don't overload ther server.

I don't believe what you want to do can be done without altering zen-cart core code.
