Opt-in: You only receive direct marketing you have consented to receive or which is relevant to a recent commercial relationship you had with the sender.

Opt-out: You only stop receiving direct marketing when you ask to stop receiving it through unsubscribing from a distribution list.
 
Opt-in - but it's wishful thinking. Spam by definition is unsolicited.
 
Opt-in.

Mixed feelings about this. It's always good to know about new deals and competitions, but on the other hand, no one likes to get spammed.
 
Opt-in, definitely.
But if it were Opt-in, it wouldn't be SPAM.
My preferred SPAM management approach is - don't get any. If you do, delete it straight away. Opting out rarely works and just ends up costing you money or leading to even more SPAM.
 
Double Opt-in.

As far as actual spam goes, all my mail accounts are now either on GMail/Google Apps or behind a smart host. The times of desktop-based spam filters are a distant past.
 
+1 for Opt-In.

I especially hate those few spam messages that slip through -- I don't want to send them an unsubscribe message because then they know they have a live address and I suddenly get MORE SPAM than before!

Even worse, some companies CLAIM that I have opted in for their SPAM, when I KNOW that I haven't!
 
Lets be honest. Spam is spam. Some people might call it "marketing". I call it taking shots in the dark. There are way better and more effective marketing strategies than spamming someone. And is it not a no brainer that 100% of voters are voting opt-in?
 
Where spammers are ground up, put into cans and sold to Americans as processed meat with an astonishingly similar name.
