Well if it complies with the can-spam law, then it's not "spam"
It's email marketing.
Chat services are another thing. No clue, wouldnt' touch it, period.
To answer the thread though, I would not spam, but I would email market like a mother fucker. Nothing, and I mean nothing wrong with it if done right.
You may run into host problems though, because some upstream providers dont care if you comply with every law on the books. Once they get complaints, they'll threaten your host and your host has no choice but to stop it. That (to me) is the real problem with these laws. They make it incumbent upon the complainer to attempt to opt out (which is as it should be!) but the people in control of the bandwidth aren't held to it whatsoever. If they say "jump" then your host has to jump.
