Would it be possible to automate the import of users from the Drupal site to the Constant Contact list? I'm assuming the best way would be to run imports on cron job.

I designed it the way it is, so that you have to manually import all the users. My reasoning is this: People don't like to be spammed, and adding all your user-base to a mailing list, when they haven't signed up for it may be not such a good idea. I offer it as a way to import your existing user-base, once, and then from then on it's opt-in.

I agree that avoiding spam is a valid concern. However, it seems that automating the current import function will not make much of a difference. People can already import all their site users whether or not they have actually opted in to a list.

I really was thinking of this in relation to my other feature request (http://drupal.org/node/222156). If such an opt-in feature as discussed in that thread is implemented, importing based on cron job should cease to be an issue, I would think.
