What's important, I believe, is that:

        These are nice points. However, if one reads the TitanKey
website, you'll definitely get the impression that since
"well-engineered bulk-email software automatically removes invalid
emails from their databases" TitanKey is doing something special and
"important" in issuing "an industry-standard 'no such user exists' error
message". And, the fact that TitanKey has applied for a patent on
issuing such a status code, I can't understand why Peter Kay would want
to suggest that it isn't an important part of the process...

The Titan Key directs spammer software to remove you from their
databases!"
