- Click the Newsletter icon in the upper right corner of the editor (the icon looks like a paper airplane).
- Click on the “Post only” button.
Selecting “post only” ensures the post is not sent by email upon publishing.

Post notification emails (i.e., newsletter) are not sent when a site’s privacy settings are set to Private.
On plugin-enabled sites, you can also stop all post-notification emails by turning off the Jetpack Newsletter module. Turning off the Newsletter also prevents new subscribers from subscribing to your blog. This cannot be done on sites that do not have plugins enabled.
To turn off the Newsletter:
- Visit your plugin-enabled site’s dashboard.
- On the side, navigate to Jetpack → Settings.
- Select the “Newsletter” tab.
- Disable the “Let visitors subscribe to new posts and comments via email” option.
