For years we had a check-box for people to sign up for email notifications. But people would forget that they had checked the box, and report us to the spam-police. It only takes a couple of reports to get on the spam list and have all your emails barred by Yahoo mail and other services. It's VERY hard to get off that list.
Doesn't an easy "unsubscribe" method, coupled with a "you're getting this because you asked" note in the text -- usually fix that?
I think that systems have matured.
