Currently, all emails being sent out by phpbb and the mass emailing feature as well as email notifications does not have an unsubscribe mechanism built in.
Many countries now require such functionality, like CAN-SPAM in the US. Additionally, Canada's antispam legislation (CASL) http://fightspam.gc.ca/eic/site/030.nsf/eng/home
It would be nice having at least an official extensions that would allow users to easily unsubscribe to such messages from a link in the emails without having to login and follow a process in the UCP. This is not only convenient, but in some cases required by law in some jurisdictions.
It would also be beneficial to us Canadian's to have some sort of "CASL compliance" feature (similar how there is a COPPA feature) that would give administrators the option to show a selection box on the registration page so the user can decide to opt in (not opt out as required by CASL) to mass emails, and while not required by CASL, an opt in for notifications emails as well. It could go along with Pony's suggestion here https://area51.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopi ... 10#p243711 with regards to having a "Legal" section in the ACP where all these features could be grouped.

Re: Unsubscribe link in emails
Notifications do have an unsubscribe link. The link says something to the effect of:
Mass emails aren't really a subscription so I'm not sure that qualifies for the subject at hand.If you no longer wish to watch this forum you can either click the
