But,
I understand that some of these junkers/spammers are just trawling for addresses
that they only later learn are real when the recipient replies to the remove link.

I think it's reprehensible to be spamming people. The spammers should explicitly
state something like:
"The address throught which you received my solicitation/message is indexed for
automatic DND (do not disturb) so that if you don't reply to us at all, we only
keep your address to cause our server to not use it again in subsequent mailings.
This way, you are secure and comfortable knowing we don't know if your address is
valid or not, and it's to our disadvantage to count and mail to you, who might be
repeatedly annoyed with us or to an address that is counted against our mail quota
because yours might in fact be a bad address."
A mouthful, but would go a longer way to restore the responsibility--as long as the
message above is heeded and not used for trickery, treachery, deceit and deluge...
