Global notification automatic email out to new post

[Arantor]

I wonder if there is a law like that in the US for people who run their own forums.

Yes, yes there is. Look up the CAN-SPAM act.

As for the educational aspect, you could always use the newsletter feature. This complies with the CAN-SPAM act's requirements by way of the opt-out functionality and because it's not an automated procedure (notifying users of new posts is automatic, newsletters have to be handled manually)

Ok, cool. Thanks for the info, Arantor.
