How can I identify and remove spam traps from my list? (Is it possible?)
Addressing spam traps on your list:
Cannot identify specific traps:
Trap operators do not reveal addresses
No service can definitively identify traps
Claims of trap identification are suspect
What you can do:
Remove entire suspect segments
Purge old, unengaged addresses
Remove any purchased or questionable sources
Apply strict engagement-based suppression
Validation services:
Can identify some likely traps (syntax, known patterns)
Cannot guarantee trap removal
Use as one tool, not complete solution
Prevention focus:
Better to prevent than remove
Confirmed opt-in reduces trap risk
Regular engagement-based hygiene
You cannot find the specific mine. You must clear the entire suspected minefield.
