The problem here is, there is no way to get "verifiable permission" from recipients. Even if their was, Spamhaus doesn't want to hear about it, they just block you.
BULLS!T. You certainly CAN get verified permission. You send one, and only one email when the register. If they don't respond (either by using an enclosed link, or replying via email) telling you it is OK to add them to your list, you don't add them. Simple as that.

I for one am happy they are getting a hard time. I cannot tell you how many times they have given my server a hard time and we send no bulk mailing whatsoever. We got on their list because a user reported a forum registration validation email as SPAM.
Was it a true validation request? In other words, if they ignore the email, they do not get further mails from you? Or is it a "forge in" type validation: ie: if they take no action, the signup is assumed to be valid.

I suspect it was the latter. In which case YOU ARE A SPAMMER.

Since they had received complaints from the owners of the netblock (i.e. the company that hosts my dedicated server) my IP was immediately blacklisted. What a nightmare that was.
OK, so the HOSTING COMPANY THEMSELVES complained to Spamahus about you? LOL. You musyt be clueless indeed. Please tell me your address ranges so that I can permanantly solder them into my routers ACL deny list.
