Simple... use a service such as Constant Contact. I believe they will  
accept that this list was generated as an opt-in list, but I'd be  
prepared for some questions from the recipients. If it were me, I'd  
send a couple emails out advising I was moving the list to a  
list-management service (such as CC) ahead of time to try and reduce  
the "surprise" factor.
