We don't see a lot of that on our spamtrap actually.  What we see 
_vastly_ more of is "HELO/MAIL FROM/QUIT" same "MAIL FROM" all the time. 
  God knows why they're doing that.

What's wrong with the obvious explanation, that they're validating
target lists?  The (equivalents to) VRFYs in my logs tend to be for

HELO
MAIL FROM
QUIT

No RCPT TO.

I've seen a few myself, and no idea why either.
