> Consider an outage email containing a diagnostic report

So, here's the problem, I don't care. I left the company. I cannot access the account anymore. The project is dead. There are a million reasons why I just don't want your emails so there's no excuse to not add an unsubscribe link.

The only messages that don't have to include such link are those that if missed/ignored lead to fees, fines, death, imprisonment and other real-life consequences.

An update to your privacy policy does not fall into that category.

My point was not that you should keep receiving those emails, it was an example of the necessity of having sometimes other mechanisms.

An unsubscribe email address could work better (assuming that if you can send arbitrary emails from an address then you control it).
