I was also interested in filtering out zombie users. Some lists have a yearly "Press this link to verify you want to stay subscribed." The downfall is that email can get lost in high volume lists. We could implement something like that and send monthly emails if no response is received on the first yearly email. After 4-6 months without a response, we can then trim the email address.
I'm interested in hearing other advice!
