Well if you would had read the flow of this conversation, I said that 1
millions of email was a example and a worst case scenario and I agreed with
you when you said "What the Hell do they have to say that 1 million people
want to hear?", we never will send millions of email per day. And from my
experience I often saw form where you can sign up in a list like Swiss
Chalet for example, you sign up they send you a email right after to tell
you thx you for registering, so I guess they are spamming Or not legist
Because they never ask me to confirm?    
Or like futurshop when you sign up to receive a email with they special of
the month, I never had a email from them to ask me to confirm. And you can
tell your *koff* *koff* "friends" that nothing is illegal in the project I'm
working on or purpose , I'm sorry if my question sound like I'm a spammer
wannabe but that's not my intention, I'm just trying to a good job and I
need to know and understand these stuff because it's my first job as a
programmer and I'm new whit that kind of stuff so my question can sound
"Weird" sometime. But I can understand your suspicion, they are so many
spammers these day it's horrible but like I said I'm new with this so I want
to do stuff to right way. ;)

What's the address of this web form to sign up.  I have some *koff* *koff* 
"friends" that would like to sign up.

A form like this that does not send a confirmation email is an invitation 
for abuse.  Most legitimate e-mail marketers rely on confirmed opt-in. 
Even allowing too many requests for confirmation to be sent can get you 
tagged as a spammer. 

One thought that has been running through the back of my head is "What the 
hell do they have to say that 1 million people want to hear?"  Sounds 
rather spammish. 

Convince me I'm wrong.
