Certainly opt-in can be spam. The sender may have lied. Someone else may
have added your address to the form. Unless the email address is confirmed
prior to adding it to the database, opt-in is completely insecure and
susceptible to large amounts of abuse.
Consider too what happens with ISP churn. What happens when you get an email
address that's previously been used? How do you get off the mailing lists
you've inherited?
