Email Opt Out Checkbox Field

Email Opt Out

This Email field will not be visible in fields rather its can be used directly from page layout and assigned  to the user in Contact & Lead object to restrict sending emails just via Mass Email.

In Email marketing, an "opt-out button" may be included to notify the sender that the recipient wishes to receive no further emails. When you enable the Email Opt Out field, the corresponding contact will be removed from your mailing lists and will not receive any emails
