You could check the domain names or maybe even go as far as telnet to the
mail server and doing something like
tenlet mailserver.com 25
helo me
220...
mail [EMAIL REMOVED]
220
rcpt [EMAIL REMOVED]
and see what is says
However to be honest I would take what you client says with a pinch of
salt. Even if these 50,000 people have opted-in I would expect that some
of them are still going to complain. IMHO if this was my client I would
run away very, very fast..
To me something doesn't seem quite right..
