I think there is some confusion over terms here.

I have worked in email marketing for the last 10 years.

I have many large lists.

However, *I* cannot opt *them* into receiving 3rd party offers. *They* have to do that.

Right, you in fact you need not only double opt in, but you need them to HAVE ALREADY AGREED to receive third party offers. Not many lists will have that!

It's not legal to send 3rd party offers to lists that haven't agreed to 3rd party offers. Doesn't matter if you have a tick box for list owners to state they have or not.

No thanks, it would be illegal with my lists.

Also, as an aside, this sort of spam is never very effective. Email works best with permission and anticipation, not spam. I know my double opt in permission lists respond to offers they are expecting better than you suddenly out of the blue spamming them something they've never heard of before.

Email is, without a doubt, the best way to market porn, in my experience. But you need to build up a good permission based list and treat that list with respect, not sell out to a 3rd party to spam them offers they are not anticipating. It won't work well and will totally kill your list as they will stop opening emails.

IMHO.

There is, however, room for someone to send emails for people though. Currently only Ynot offer a real (although whitelabel) email solution for porn and Gammae work on a partnership basis like you. If you have whitelisted servers and can hit the inbox, there is definitely room for you to act as an ESP if you price the service right.
