In three of those it was an autoresponder-like thing that incorrectly
accused of spamming. Beartooth's scheme would be of no advantage in such
cases.
In one of the cases, it appears that an individual actually forget that
they signed up:

Did you then (or do you now) maitain evidence of her confirmation for
joining the list? Is maintaining such evidece a good idea? Anyboyd do
it? And if so, how?
Again Beartooth's scheme would not have worked in this case.
