I have been asked about this question today.

Don't really understand it, for my understanding it is kind of spam emails.

Anyone has idea how to implement this?

Thank you.

An opt-in list is merely a list where the person wishing to subscribe adds their email address themselves. It can be used for spam-like behaviour in that it may be a hidden or double-spoken option in a signup thing or something, but there are many that don't hide it too. The only thing to make sure to do is send an initial email to the address asking for verification that it is indeed they who signed up. To help curb subscription attack like spam/DOS activity, you can limit how quickly a connection can request for a given address or any number of peoples (the actual rate of requesting.)

Try phpList or a pay service like Constant Contact.
