Is there some long-standing toxic effect of mailing lists other than

The opt-in mechanism, I'd say. There's no standardized way for
subscribers' servers to learn about subscriptions. Monthly reminders
resemble a time-distributed database w.r.t. what could be provided
otherwise. (Not to mention whitelisting.)
The only exchange necessary would be checking the sender's domains for
authorization hash labels. These labels can specifically authorize list
traffic.
