of course its not illegal, but dont make it looks like spam. unfortunatly email marketing doesnt work as good as it first did years ago because of the amount of spam out there. people simply now delete them before they even read them.

you need to create email accounts with your domain name or hosting provider. you then use the details from that email account to setup your pop3 or SMTP email details.

 

I don't think it's illegal either.

 

Depends if its site related..

 

make sure that its done in a decent way, and information send to members is meaningful and helpful related to the topic of your website.
