And the rest will confirm to the spammer that they have a valid address,
along with instructions for having their spam accepted.
The bounced messages would be easy to avoid and it's not necessary to
include instructions about how to get the spam accepted. Forged
addresses could be a problem though. Is there any way to verify that
the sender address is legitimate without sending an email there?
