As a "free" mail system provider, I'd disable those abandoned accounts and not rely on the email senders to track their recipients and stop sending mails. Is there anything wrong with telling the sender: "550 Mailbox abandoned for X months" instead of accepting truckloads of poop for them? This is a lot easier than forcing any kind of tracking on the senders, because you actually know if a mailbox is being looked into or not. And it would solve all the other issues you mention.
