I have an opt-in e-mailing list of people who joined my free site and gave me permission to e-mail them. The list software isn't amazingly sophisticated but it's double-opt in. There's an unsubscribe link in each mail I send out and all requests are processed instantly.

Of the 50,000 subscribers, only a handful (about 15) have complained, but SpamCop have been bugging my ISP (already not keen on hosting porn) to shut me down.

Does e-mailing a newsletter (albeit an adult one) to people who have requested in count as Spam?

Has anyone else had a similar problem?
