Urban myth.
If you make damn sure that you clearly mark your bulk mail with the
website/organisation at which your user subscibed, & you record the
*way* they subscribed[0], you should be fine. It's also vitally
important that you respond promptly to email that arrives at your
domain's '[email protected]' address.

[0] Eg: IP address & time stamp from when they hit the 'subscribe me'
button on a web form, copy of the signed paper form they sent in, etc.
