Note that you're going to open yorself up to the problem of people being 
gratuitously subscribed to your list.  That's why we have double opt-in.

There's a disturbing trend these days of people reporting mailing lists as 
spam to their providers instead of unsubscribing.  This can get you 
blacklisted.  It happens enough with lists that people actually 
voluntarily subscribed to, it's going to  be a lot worse if you get people 
being randomly subscribed without their consent.
