Ping out old email lists

I have some old email lists that have been accruing I havent taken advantage of. Is there a way I can ping the lists our for bad addresses off the bat? I don't want the lists to mail to a bunch of crap and get the IP's dirty.

Better option: Give your email ids to people here as giveaway. You will feel better,

Believe it or not, your old email lists are assets.

While the vast majority of people there will probably be non-responsive, there should be enough people who would respond to your email.

Depending on your niche, this might be quite lucrative.

I would suggest pinging your old list using a new offer or some sort of freebie.

You'll be surprised as to how responsive seemingly "dead" lists can be.

I need something to clean these lists first they have been accruing for awhile, and really just need to remove dead emails first.
