What is the limit of emails per hour for my droplet? From what quantity shipments are considered SPAM?
If I have 1000 (or more) subscribers to my newsletter, as I proceed to send a newsletter to each of them without the process being classified as SPAM?
Thanks, Phillip.

CAN-SPAM Act states that you should have an opt-in. As @BOFH (love the name, by the way) said, double opt-in is best.
Furthermore, CAN-SPAM act requires an opt-out link that is respected within 24 hours (you have 24 hours to remove them from the time that they opt out). CAN-SPAM act also states that you must clearly state that it is a marketing message and provide your company name and contact info (address) somewhere in the e-mail.
