Watch the market for a configuration: Macfax emails the given address when new matching listings appear. CONSENT CONTRACT: create an alert only for a user who explicitly asked for this alert on this email address. The first alert for a new email stays inactive until the email's owner clicks the confirmation link Macfax sends; nothing is emailed before that, and every alert email carries manage and unsubscribe links.
