iOS and gmail use the List-Unsubscribe header field to auto populate the link they insert at the top of the email to unsubscribe Unfortunately, the List-Unsubscribe contains both a link and a mailto: for the field, which doesn’t work for automatic unsubscriptions Is there a way to disable the mailto: and only use the link to populate that field?

You would have to edit this in-code In, dada/DADA/Mail/Send pm, find, 

        $lh{'List-Unsubscribe'} =
            '<mailto:' 
 $self->{ls}->param('list_owner_email') 
 '?Subject=Unsubscribe%20from%20<!-- tmpl_var list_settings
list_name escape="URL" -->>, <<!-- tmpl_var list_unsubscribe_link -->>';

Change to, 

        $lh{'List-Unsubscribe'} ='<<!-- tmpl_var list_unsubscribe_link -->>';

The RFC says to put both, ala:

https://sendgrid com/blog/what-you-need-to-know-about-list-unsubscribe/

I don't know if just putting the unsub link in will actually work, as there are things in place to stop automated processes from unsubscribing people outright: the scenarios were: someone clicks an unsub link from a forwarded message, and unsubs the original subscriber; or an email client prefetches a link (or does so via a preview) That's why a subscriber has to fill out their address again

That blog you included does note,

In contrast to Gmail, iOS Mail only supports the mailto: version of the unsubscribe header

So you want to keep this mailto: option
