Anyway, as long as bulk emailers send sollicited mail, everything is ok of
course. However, we then run into the definition of 'sollicited'. For some,
entering an email address in some web form means solliciting for email, but if
there is no confirmation whatsoever (eg. by requiring an email confirmation)
chances are that people will put someone else's email address in that web form.
This is what I was trying to get at before. The mailer *thinks* it's solicited
but due to lack of due diligence (i.e. not doing the confirmation step),
doesn't realise that it's *not* solicited - at least not by the owner of the
email address.
