Pristine traps: Addresses never used for legitimate signup. Any hit = purchased or scraped list. Severe reputation impact.
Recycled traps: Former real addresses repurposed. Indicates list decay — addresses that were once valid but never maintained.
Typo traps: Misspelled domains (gmial.com, yahooo.com). Indicates no validation at signup.

A single pristine trap hit can trigger a Spamhaus SBL listing within 24 hours. Double opt-in eliminates virtually all pristine trap exposure.
