Interesting point that you have 10 more days to 'email' a user who has opted out.....!!!

the way they get around this is by selling the lists BEFORE they have opted out..

You basically make 10 dummy corporations.. each has a copy of the full list.. after the first company has mailed the shit out of the lists and gotten complaints they simply use the next company to mail those users and do an OPPOSITE scrub , scrubbing only valid people fromt he first list ( thus everyone left overis people who opted out )
