While all of these are good suggestions, I MUST put in a word about spamming folks.

First of all, doing it without concent is *BAD*. You are wize enough to ask for requests first.

Second, but more important, not getting a confirmation of that request is just as bad. Spammers with retaliation on the mind are known to sign up antispammers to single-opt-in lists. Also, not running a confirmed opt-in list is illegal in some states (YEOWCH! See http://www.spamcon.com for details). I am not a lawyer, but a once of prevention is worth a pound of Bubba being shoved up several places you don't want a cellmate to be in the first place. XP

So be careful. Let me know if you need any help. I've done a confirmed opt-in in Perl. UPDATE: Masem tells me that it'll be confirmed opt-in via majordomo (Quote: Masem says don't worry -- other mailing lists that I run are strictly opt-in (eg: majordomo open+confirm) ).
