It is true that using a service like Mail Chimp to validate a mail list is an easy way to validate a mail list, but the steps I detailed are a valid alternative for any full blown system you may be managing.
I've written systems that have opt-in, opt-out features and utilize a variety of merged lists, like customer lists, prospect lists, interest lists, etc. These are lists which are constantly changing based on user actions and other factors. If you're managing a dynamic, living list, those steps probably are the most valid. For one-offs, the service, as you suggest, is probably the best solution.
