Mail unsubscribes don't seem to be working. What am I missing?

Question

Hi All, 
 I'm trying to stop some users from getting approval email (they have delegates who receive and action the approvals instead). I've gone into ITShop as one of the users, disabled the email template and confirmed there's an entry in DialogMailNoSubscription. 
 When I launch a request and this user (plus the delegate) are set as approves, both the original user and the delegate still have an email notification generated in the JobQueue (same as without the DialogMailNoSubscription entry). 
 Am I missing something about how these work? Do I need update process generating conditions (hope not!) on all OOTB processes that send mail? 
 Any help or insight appreciated. 
 Glen.

Hi Again Mark, 
 TLDR: Apologies for the confusion, this seems to be working now. 
 My tests before were looking to see if the process for the excluded staff member was generated (which it was) though I hadn't yet set up papercut to check the messages actually went out via SMTP. I'd thought about how bad this would be if it was gen condition-based (and hence I'd be updating a tonne of gen conditions to cover all cases) and then realised the SendMail components probably had this check baked in. Then, how could they perform the check without generating the jobs? ... 
 Upon testing end to end, I've now confirmed that a single email is sent even though two jobs appear in the queue.
