IANAL. The issues behind these laws are about control. If I add my address to get email updates for PUBLIC comments it would be unreasonable to later complain if I did not like those public comments. So long as the opt in is explicit the EU would, in my not-a-law-person view, be on your side with regards to our data protection laws. If the ability to opt out was clear and easy then any one with a grudge would have a hard time making anything stick. We EU bloggers could desperately do with a white paper on the subject I feel.

James I am glad you got it working as it is a great proof of concept.
The developer has also said he will add the flow control soon for people who decide to use smtp from their own server, though honestly I think how you have set things up is the better option, though a private Gmail account also works well.

As per our IM chat, Andy, I went ahead and set up smtp services to use our Google Business services email account. Works like a charm, and I have created an account that will simply act as a repository for all of the sent messages from the WordPress install. Kind of a nice place to have one more layer of backup.

Thanks for the tips.

[...] Subscribe to Comments Hacks – I am including this at the top of the list because it is highly important. Emails sent out from your domain could cause you problems with email delivery or spam complaints, and the plugin by default doesn't comply with CAN-SPAM if you or someone else (a spammer) includes a marketing message in your emails. The danger of overloading your server with emails being sent faster than your host allows is also worth thinking about. I know multiple blogs that have problems delivering all subscribed comments and I am sure the owners are not aware of this. [...]
