    No doubt! Sending emails is spamming. But which kind of email you are sending. No one care about the email from where it is coming. Do you remember, where you signup and where not. On the other hand, you are also going to give an unsubscribe link, then what is the problem. There might be a risk and its chances are only .001% if you are in US. I think you are not from US.

    do not spam and get blacklisted..

    follow list building and use double opt-in method

    thank you and all the best.

    If those people that you are emailing subscribed to your opt-in email list, then it's ok to send them email, otherwise it will be label as spam as someone may make complaint on you.

    If you have no proof that they gave you permission, for example double optin information, to send email ads to them then it is spam.

    Just because you add an unsubscribe link it does not make it legal and is no protection against getting reported.

    FYI double optin information consists of the date and time they registered plus
    their ip address and email they registered with.
