PS: "New" doesn't mean new, it means "hasn't written in a while", so my own 
message got delayed.

This strategy might have worked a long time ago, when spammers would just 
connect to the SMTP server of the destination, i.e. mail.osgeo.org. They'd get 
an error and their script would move on to another target. But if you have a 
real mail server (or a compromised account, or an open relay which accepts and 
forwards messages for anyone), it won't help at all.
