Open related tool →Confirm the physical address

Test the unsubscribe flow
Use the final recipient link to confirm opt-out is clear, works without login, and is honored promptly.
Open related tool →Verify consent and list source
Document how recipients joined the list and confirm suppression, consent, and targeting rules were applied.
Review applicable regions
Have an accountable reviewer assess requirements for every recipient region; this checklist is not legal advice.

Review subject and preheader
Check accuracy, consistency, truncation, personalization fallbacks, and misleading or spam-like wording.
