The problem with that is that most of Constant Contact's customers are small business that may have users who opted in out-of-band. "Hey, Mr. Pooser, we have an email list with monthly discounts-- can we add you to that list?" "Yeah, I'd read that." "Great, just write your email address here on this clipboard...." If CC makes it too hard for those mom and pop shops to use their service, they'll go somewhere else. So CC can't be too draconian (or they'll lose customers) or too loosey-goosey (or they'll be blacklisted). My own experience with CC has been fine-- when I report a spammer they get nuked fast, and over 99% of the mail received from CC at $ORKPLACE is requested by my users.
