Because a signup process that falls victim to various types of auto-responses would be bad. Anything you'd have to add to that to try to prevent that issue would make it more confusing for some folks and would result in a drop off in confirmation rate. Regarding this new "CDOI" acronym: Michael, bless you for trying, but you're the guy who runs the blacklist that calls all commercial email "third party mail" no matter how confirmed or clearly opt-in it is, so you personally wouldn't be the guy I'd look to for help throwing more definitions at the problem.
