Well, considering the number of spammers that use them (and since many of the bounces go back to the fake users mailbox), might actually be a reasonable way to prevent spammers from wanting to use them more....

Just a thought.

My thoughts also.
No spammer is going to want to wait 30 days to look for responses.
