For the life of your job and your company, you DON'T want to do this.

Gathering e-mails off of a page is paramount to creating "spamware", and there's a ton of that already going around causing ISP's to kick the creators off the net. It's just not tolerated. It'll get you blackholed and blackballed for life.

Instead, go to Mail Abuse Prevention Services and also Abuse.net. Also drop by news.admin.net-abuse.email on Usenet and ask for pointers on generating a confirmed opt-in mailing list.

Update: If you want to see how bad it affects the network, then Read about how two guys were sentenced to two years in jail for causing near-havoc with spam. AOL, AT&T, Mindspring, etc were all affected.
