To save extra work and not lose potential leads just add them to your distribution list anyway if they are spam then no need to worry.

^ I'd skip that, the "big" blacklists are fully of bs blocks (imho).
You can add one of those annoying little "write text to show us you aren't a bot"
or
You can have one of those annoying services that send them an email asking for verification (super annoying).
or
You could use a service that tests all the emails to be real (not that that would determine if it were spam, but it could).
Given the (beautiful) content of your book, it's not surprising people would use "gmail" accounts. I only use my gmail and yahoo emails for newsletters, never a business account (if they won't accept that, and some won't, then I move on and forget it - make it a pain and people won't subscribe).

I've had it with Google. They encourage spam and sell UID's to crap like semalt. It's utter horse shit.

you could honeypot (add a hidden field that spam bots fill in) so you know theyre spam and filter incoming emails moving known spam into the bin?

GMail has nearly 10% of the entire email market, and in my experience, a fuckload of independents use it.

Don't services like Mail Chimp and Constant Contact clean up your lists?
