Re: [Asrg] Spam detection system proposal

consider the organization that mails out one announcement per year
to its members. lots of people will change addresses in that year. 
is that organization's mail somehow illegitimate because its
addresses bounce?

No.  That's a side-effect, and such organizations will need to work
harder to keep their lists clean.  (Do any organizations *really* mail
out that infrequently?)

yes, damnit.  I work with several organizations that have a once-a-year
social event, and send out one bulk email per year.

for that matter, is a spammer's mail any less annoying simply
because it deletes addresses that do bounce?

In order to delete addresses that bounce, the spammer must be able to
receive bounce notifications, and therefore becomes more traceable --

nope.  not in any useful sense.
