Subscribe, or perhaps have to go through a challenge response like one 
does with craigslist if not a registered user. Send your email ... it 
goes in a pending queue ... you get a response back that requires some
action on your part like going to a web page and completing a captcha ....

But frankly, I think subscribe is best ... then they too receive some 
portion of the email campaign. Perhaps there is a minimum subscription
interval of 24 hours?
