Unfortunately all that does is multiply the number of mails that get
sent. I still get hundreds of spams to addresses thet were deleted years
ago (and hundreds more to message-IDs from newsgroups from nearly 20
_years_ ago when I was using DOS for my internet connection at 1200
Baud).
I stopped using volatile email addresses when I started getting spem to
them in less than 48 hours, probably 6 or 7 years ago now.
Just because the address is `dead', it doesn't mean some machine
somewhere doesn't still have to deal with the spam in perpetuity.
