A brief note about US and European Spam law

The actual approved US CAN-SPAM Act requires an opt-out solution in your emails, this can be enough for American law. Please consider that the European Directive 2002/58/EC is more restrictive and requires mandatory “opt-in” modules to gather the customer emails for email marketing and newsletter subscription. The double optin subscription management is the best way to respect your customer’s privacy.
