Validate them???
Like folk might not want to be on the opt-out list???
Wouldn't *.com, *.edu ... be likely a correct first guess :-)
There are plenty of ISPs complaining that they are getting tons of spam sent
to non-existent addresses. It is not a bad idea to have a way to exclude
them.
I guess someone could inherit an email address and complain that they are
not getting the spam they wanted...

How would you validate them? And if you don't, why wouldn't some
helpful person do a dictionary attack on the opt-out list in order to
remove everyone.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so
unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so
eager to regulate
everyone else's.
