The Can-Spam act is not ironic 
Wikipedia :
Spam basically refers to bulk unsolicited email and you are allowed to spam in the US if you follow certain guidelines. ( check here :- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN-SPAM_Act_of_2003#The_mechanics_of_CAN-SPAM )
Other countries have varying laws and this website does not delete threads based on legality in your jurisdiction
To the OP , I'd suggest you write something like "This service shall not be provided if it is illegal in your country's jurisdiction"
Secondly , you should offer a test run of some kind. Maybe 10,000 spam emails or so.

The legal status of spam varies from one jurisdiction to another. In the United States, spam was declared to be legal by the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 provided the message adheres to certain specifications

I didn't see that it allowed unsolicited email that complied with the guidelines, it's been a while since I looked it up. It seems they prohibit spamming harvested email lists instead, which makes a bit more sense ("friend of a friend" communications like what LinkedIn does would be a problem otherwise). With that qualification, the act's name is somewhat less ironic, though it does prohibit most of the spam email that I currently get.
I agree with your suggestion about adding a message to the OP about local laws, it would help his service seem more legitimate as well.
