That won't accomplish anything other than to make a lot more work for the Elecraft guys. It doesn't cost the spammers the slightest measurable bit extra ... in terms of money, time, or effort ... to send messages to a dead end once they have the address. The only thing that it does is prevent them from being able to represent the address to their reprehensible clients as a "premium" one ... i.e., vulnerable.
Besides, at least some of these spam emails are the result of some list user's address book being compromised, and there's nothing to prevent that happening to multiple users over and over again. Putting the list on moderate status might make things nicer for us, but it doesn't make the spammers go away ... ever.
