For those so-called “sensitive and easily irritated” people, scrolling an email all the way to the end is apparently the equivalent of visiting Mars. And anyway, calling it SPAM sounds a bit odd. I don’t consider Victron’s occasional information emails to be spam, as they keep you informed about all the significant new developments and products.
It’s rather astonishing that some people consider it “easier” to come over to the forum and start a new thread after receiving the email than to click the “unsubscribe” link in it—especially since it happens fairly often that people receive newsletters they never knowingly subscribed to.

It’s rather astonishing that some people consider it unwanted advertising & newsletter getting on their email, rather than being upset.
That’s not only rude, buts its against the law to send newsletters/advertising without consent. But since the “new normal century” started rules does not apply to everyone…
o’rly that does work? until they start their next campagne, then they crawl their database snatch every mail the can get and it’s starts over. so being blacklisted is way more useful.
no it does not work!

Hi,
Was unwanted email from marketing sent to the same email address that you used to register for this community?
If so I will pass it on again and see if we can solve why it is happening.
I’ve also received, out of the blue, first time, a marketing email about VRM news…
So, you are not alone.
By the way…
Is there a section in all Victron web universe where you can set your marketing / newsletter / campaigns etc. preferences?
Please point me in the right direction, because I am so dumb that I couldn’t find it…
Who knows… maybe someone, that by mistake unsubscribed, wants to subscribe again.
Not to mention that this is a normal / standard procedure / choice when personal data (email address usage) is concerned…
Edit2: unsubscribe links are at the bottom of each email, both seem to be different mailinglists - one being “2026 VRM users” (looking forward to unsubscribe from 2027 VRM users and 2028 subsequently…) and the other “2026-01-06 VicProf - countries AU, CH, DE and language DE”
