The client will also be emailed to confirm that a 'STOP' request has been received. The recipient number will also be added to a 'blocked' list so that should the client inadvertently send an SMS message to that number again, the SMS message will be blocked. This feature is in line with legal requirements in many countries. Note that this feature is only available to the recipient if the client set the SMS messages to 'repliable' when sending.
