If you make damn sure that you clearly mark your bulk mail with the website/organisation at which your user subscibed, & you record the *way* they subscribed[0], you should be fine. It's also vitally important that you respond promptly to email that arrives at your domain's 'abuse@' address. [0] Eg: IP address & time stamp from when they hit the 'subscribe me' button on a web form, copy of the signed paper form they sent in, etc.
AND send a verification email with a clearly marked confirmation url that they must hit to actually be subscribed. Without successful confirmation, no further email should be sent. KL
