When I worked at the university, someone used the opt-in mails to flood
other machines with those mails. This can also be used to hit spamtraps.
 
Register 50 domains and point their MX to the trap, then enter those

High probability that you will be listed.

This is probably one of the reasons people send opt-in
confirmations from IP addresses that are different from
what the main mail servers normally send from.

Such vengeful activities may always test the limits of
