Nice idea, but mad move...

A lot of legit webmasters who are against spam will get the wrong idea of your program, and what your program is about. Over the past year we've all seen how nutty these antispam guys can get, they take things to a whole different level. Majority usually rules and I wouldn't be surprised if a few legit webmasters/antispam activists leave or boycott your program due to your actions. I can see it now ..."CJBUCKS SUPPORTS SPAM!@#!@# STOP PROMOTING SCUM"

Don't get me wrong, I think this is a great idea and will help a lot of mailers out...
But like I was trying to say...there are a lot more cons than there is pros.

Also providing a universal "remove/blacklist" will probably only make things worse for those who submit to the list ... mainly because this just feeds a spammer with active and live email addresses ... and I wouldn't be surprised if those who submitted to the remove lists start getting even more spam.

Think of the long term benefits rather than the short term, mailing can get you X amount of signups in Y amount of days from Z amount of mailers ... but legit webmasters can keep the flow coming ...

--Ends here, not sure if I'm making sense [sick/tipsy]--
