Hi I would like to know if anyone knows how to create an Unsubscribe button for HTML emails created within Freeway Pro? I do not want to use third party applications at this stage such as Mail Chimp, Constant Contact etc. I
That would depend a lot on how you are managing the e-mail list
currently. If you’re simply managing it yourself, using a subscription
form that sends you an e-mail when someone signs up for the list, for
example, then you could do the same thing for your unsubscribe. A
second form in your site, with a link to that form at the bottom of
every e-mail you send out (as per CAN-SPAM law in the US and similar
elsewhere) and that form sends you an unsubscribe message and you
manually remove that address from whatever system you are using to
manage the list.
[minor rant] If you are using a PHP/MySQL database and a more
sophisticated mailer, I have to ask – WHY? MailChimp is FREE and they
follow the law and they get the mail past the spam filters. This is
their entire life, professionally speaking, and they do an amazing job
at it. [/rant]
So if you have rolled your own, then it’s as simple as a second form
on your site. If you have installed a server-side tool, then this
function is most likely already built in, and you should root through
the documentation and enable it. And if you were using MailChimp, you
would already be done.

If it helps our PRO hosting accounts have a Mailing list function where it supplies a bit of code you can add to your page. Users can subscribe/unsubscribe from the mailing list/s you create in the hosting account.
This code you simply copy and paste into a Markup item on your Freeway page.
