My scheme doesn't care about message content.  It merely punishes those
with a large set of invalid recipient addresses on their mailing list.
My intuition tells me spammers are more likely to have bad addresses than
legitimate bulk e-mailers.  We need experiments to see if that's true.

There are some legit bulk mailers with bad list hygiene, and large numbers
of bad addresses.

However, I would hazard a guess that there's a *huge* margin of difference
between their bounce ratio and a spammer's, and it will be easy to
differentiate.
