Tell them that not doing opt-in will make them spammers and that the servers of your company will be listed in blacklists, so you cannot reach anybody until that listing is expired. Without a confirmation, everybody can simply subscribe any address and that will be abused. Even the confirmation messages can already be used for mass mailing if an abuser submits the form many times for many addresses. _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
