Manually add to NewsLetterSubscription table from .net

Hi

I have a nopCommerce site on one domain and the web site on the other. I have a subscription box on the website and I want to add a newsletter subscriber from the website directly to the nopCommerce.NewsLetterSubscription table. I have this in the code behind and this successfully adds a record to the correct table:

Page.Validate()
        If Page.IsValid Then
            Using db As New ShopDataClassesDataContext
            Dim thisNewSubscription As New NewsLetterSubscription
                With thisNewSubscription
                    .NewsLetterSubscriptionGuid=System.Guid.NewGuid
                    .Email=txtEmailAddress.Text
                    .Active=True
                    .StoreId=1
                    .CreatedOnUtc=Now
                End With
                db.NewsLetterSubscriptions.InsertOnSubmit(thisNewSubscription)
                db.SubmitChanges()
                end using
            MultiView1.SetActiveView(ViewSubscribeThanks)
        End If

After adding a new subscriber (there are 3 in the table now) and sending a test campaign MASS MAIL it says that it has queued 2 emails (not three). Do I need to do anything else or is it just ignoring the "site owner" email?

Any help would be appreciated. I am trying to make sure the site owner only needs to send email from one place (nopCommerce admin) and he isn't ready for MailChimp yet!
