Randolf Richardson, Postmaster via mailop <rand...@inter-corporate.com>
is rumored to have said:
What have you found to be some of the best approaches to convince
clients that the confirmed opt-in process is necessary for operating
eMail lists? (The ethical aspects are pretty straight-forward.)
Specifying it explicitly in service contracts and making absolutely sure
that the customer is aware that failing to confirm opt-ins will result
in immediate permanent service termination, and they may receive any
data associated with their account shipped to them on physical media by
request. That is obviously only possible with full management support.
We've had exactly one misunderstanding of this in the past 15 years. As
you say, the ethical aspects are clear and we have the luxury of being
able to screen customers well. I expect this is only feasible for
similar operations where mailing list hosting is not a free-standing
offering, but only something we offer to our mailbox customers.
