Regardless of how desirable you think your offering is, the bottom line is that 
your "millions" of E-mails you plan to send ARE unsolicited E-mails, and thus 
ARE spam.

Accordingly they SHOULD be blocked by spam filters throughout the Net.  You do 
NOT have authority from those intended recipients to E-mail them, or to put your 
stuff in their E-mail inboxes.	

I suggest that a better solution is to publicize (through news media, etc) how 
to request being put on the list, and let Internet users contact YOU.

As a secondary question... do you intend to be cognizant of user sensitivity 
about such things and send them as plain ASCII text?  Or were you planning to 
send them as (less-compatible, 3.5x more bulky) HTML-burdened E-mail?
