I wonder, given your comment below, if pushing the recipient email address to the "harder addresses" list has some sort of effect on future mailings to that address? If, just maybe, it would mean that the address would no longer be "sold" to other lists because it failed? I know, "quality of list" is probably not that important to most spammers, but certainly most would want to purchase a list of email addresses that are "known good". If I was a spammer and I had a list of "hard addresses" that I could pull out of my database before I resold it, I would think that i could sell my list for more because it's more accurate... no?
That goes on the assumption that spammers are honest people. :) Quite a few legitimate companies have been suckered into sending spam because they bought a list of E-mail addresses where "Every address opted in!" -- yet they hadn't. The other problem is that spammers would have to retrieve the information from the computer they are sending from, which slightly increases their risk of getting caught.
