I tried to dump on the idea that spammers "typically" respond to
a 550 by removing a target address, but it's just as dreamy to
claim that they "typically" don't.

It would be really swell if people proposing or criticising mechanisms
would pay attention to what they know (e.g. there's a lot of spam),
what they strongly suspect (*some* spammers do or do not remove in
response 550's), and what they wish (*most* spammers do or do not
respond to 550's).
Is there anyone out here that has some info on what spammers actually do
with "550" and other error codes?
