I have a list of about 250,000 people who joined my free site a couple of years ago and who agreed to receive a e-newsletter. (double confirmations)

They received the newsletter once a week for about a year with hardly any complaints, but then I got ill and we stopped sending it.

Would e-mailing these people count as spam now? I know there are new laws but I don't really understand them.

I don't want to go to prison! On the other hand, I could really use the cash. That list used to make me a fortune.

I read something about having to put a postal address at the bottom. That's ok with me. Is there anything else I need to do to be legal?

Who knows about this stuff?
