With Storm Bot etc. this problem is going to get worse. ppl should set 
their email servers to never bounce nor honour delivery notification so 
that spammers can't  tell if an address exists  or  the innocent  
flooded with stupid virus  warnings.

Spamming  has turned many "features" into  problems.
