Why Do People Mark Reddit Emails as Spam Instead of Unsubscribing?
In our 2025 research, based on the actions of 10,292 Clean Email users, Reddit ranked 15th in the Top 50 most frequently marked-as-spam senders. That’s not just a few annoyed subscribers — it shows thousands of people are exhausted by the constant flood of Reddit notifications.
The problem is clear: Reddit emails are frequent, repetitive, and hard to manage. Unsubscribing isn’t simple either — you need to dig into your account settings and turn off multiple categories one by one, with no universal “unsubscribe from all” button. No wonder so many users give up and just hit “Spam.”
Which Reddit Emails Should You Unsubscribe From?
Start with noreply@redditmail.com, which handles the majority of Reddit’s marketing, digest, and engagement traffic. These include new comment alerts, trending post digests, and community recommendations that many users find excessive.
⚠️ Keep noreply@reddit.com. This address is used for account verification, password resets, and other critical account communications. Filtering or blocking it could cause you to miss important security notices or login recovery emails.
Here’s how to block Reddit notification emails
Step 1: Open Clean Email and sign in with your account (available on iOS, Android, and web).
Step 2: Go to the Senders section.
Step 3: Search for Reddit and click on noreply@redditmail.com
Step 4: Tap Block to stop messages from the sender.
(Mute lets them through but marks them as read.)
Want to Keep Reddit Emails Without the Flood?
If you don’t want to block entirely, but still want to stay updated, Clean Email’s Keep Newest feature is the perfect solution. It automatically deletes all old Reddit messages while keeping only the most recent one.
Step 1: Open Clean Email and sign in.
Step 2: Go to the Senders section.
Step 3: Search for Reddit and select noreply@redditmail.com.
Step 4: Scroll down and switch on Keep Newest. This will automatically remove older messages from the same sender while keeping only the latest one in your inbox.
This way, you’ll still see Reddit’s latest digest or notification, but you won’t get buried under dozens of older emails.
