Body: <p>We want to find the best way to not send bulk emails to a contact when they've asked to be removed from our mailing lists. I've seen many references to the &quot;Do Not Email&quot; box, but have not been able to find it. We are able to use the &quot;On Hold&quot; setting for a specific email address of the contact, but the documentation implies that that is for a different purpose (that the email address does not work). Is there a &quot;Do Not Email&quot; setting that we can manually select in order to have a contact excluded from any future CiviMail mailings?</p>
