Sure. (un)safelists, mlm "targeted optin" lists and stuff? Don't be
too sure they are optin.

1. Do those domains exist, or are they variants of yhaoo.com,
htomail.com etc? [optin means confirmed optin by the way - you wouldn't
find such nonexistent addresses in a truly optin list]
2. Use a verp capable mailing list server, accept all bounces you get
and process them to throw away bouncing users from your lists. That
just might make them a little cleaner than the average "safelist"
