This week I saw some advertisements from sendx.io on
YouTube promoting mailing list services, some of which
emphasized that they perform "spamtrap detection" (other
ads from the same company also emphasized "Built-in
Email list Cleaning" which is just a fancy way of
writing "list washing").

 
True, but there is also the situation where people intentionally put
spamtrap addresses on mailing lists to let the company list itself to
annoy them.

Confirmed opt-in protects against that, unless the
spamtrap address is controlled by the saboteur who
follows the opt-in confirmation steps.

I would suggest to monitor that first and if they behave
spammer-friendly, reject their junk by default.

That seems reasonable.  A first-time subscription opt-in
confirmation request is soemthing I'm not concerned about,
as long as it's also not filled up with advertisements.

The opt-out auto-subscribed eMail lists are unreasonable,
and I regard those as spam, and are therefore worthy of
inclusion in blacklists.
