 Unsolicited Bulk Email: Definitions and Problems
Unsolicited Bulk Email, or UBE, is Internet mail ("email") that is sent to a group of recipients who have not requested it.
A mail recipient may have at one time asked a sender for bulk email, but then later asked that sender not to send any more email or otherwise not have indicated a desire for such additional mail; hence any bulk email sent after that request was received is also UBE.
Further, many senders of bulk UBE use tactics which are often viewed as devious, and probably illegal, in order to reduce the cost to the sender or even to hide the true identity of the sender.

The ISP MUST ensure that all email generated within their network can be traced to its source; and MUST ensure that the immediate source of email which arrives from other networks can be determined.
Furthermore, it is possible for the sender to use a poorly configured system to hide the true source of the email or at least to ensure that the less skilled misidentify its source.
Ideally they would be able to produce a copy of the "subscribe" email for the list and would have checked it out at the time by "mailback" confirmation techniques to ensure that a third party had not maliciously requested the subscription.
