Indeed. The Holy Grail.

I think you'll find that most businesses that have a "sales@" or "info@"
address on their Web site require the ability to receive e-mail from anyone.

Sounds like we're in violent agreement.

For addresses which only receive individual emails (like info@
and webmaster@) checksum-based distributed systems like DCC
provide nearly 100% accuracy without false positives, and even
in that case you still have a copy in the spam-folder.

But the solution sought here should prevent unsolicited mail at
the sender. You cant do this with content-scanning and it will
take at least 10 years to become usable for a sales(_at_)-address
which is too worried about loosing business from a misconfigured
or not-updated potential client.
