So a good rule of thumb is that since I'm legit, I follow CAN-SPAM.
Real spammers have to contend with state laws too.

CAN-SPAM does not preempt state laws to the extent that those laws
deal with falsity and deception. Provisions relating to
forged/missing/obfuscated headers, deceptive subject lines, etc.,
are in full force and effect. Many state laws allow for substantial
statutory damages for such violations, usually to the service
provider.
Portions of state laws that would regulate otherwise non-fraudulent
or deceptive commercial email, e.g. opt-in/opt-out, identification,
etc. are preempted. In those areas, CAN-SPAM is the law of the
land.
