As most people, they are either email replies or a link to a website. Obviously it depends on your desired goal. If it is keeping automated scripts away then I would suggest a link to a website to confirm signup. On that website ask the user to enter a random set of digits displayed on the page. (That will keep the scripts that open links in confirmation emails away). If the goal is a general cleansing, then your suggestion to regularly "opt-in" sounds fine.
