Mostly anecdotal.

Hardly ever in the last two years. Had issues getting mail to anyone at
themail about 2.5 years ago. Did not persue, just placed a notice on the
list page that if you were a themail clients you would most likely not be
able to get mail from us. That was fixed.

Our lists are and have always been confirmed opt-in. We consider anything
other than confirmed opt-in to be unworkable and can very well lead to a
spam complaint. ~50% of the stuff caught in my spamtrap are from "lists"
that non-existant persons have join. We do LART on them.
