Does your company have mailing lists and require opt-in for them? There are plenty of scenarios where its pretty impractical. It would certainly be easier for the abuse team to require opt-in, but then it would be a much less useful tool for a wide variety of use cases that aren't abusive. Also, at some level, you can just signup a new Gmail account and send email to a bunch of folks without any opt-in, so clearly there's a bulk aspect to these things. At least on the mailing list, you can unsubscribe... modulo that working, of course. Brandon
