Send a test mailing to a hundred, if no complaints after a day or two,
another test mailing to another 200, wait a few days, then 500. If there
still aren't any complaints, you're OK. This means that they can't use the
list until five days after they bring it to you, but if they claim they need
to mail to it right now, it's probably a spam list anyway.
