Too bad so many email client softwares have developed a bad reputation for when they ask for 'Access to your contacts', doing far too much with that information..

Even me, accidentally have posted a message to the mailing list, when meant to send to an individual.

But it is helpful, whether sending or receiving, to see if the address is in your contacts (known person) or not..

But we see a lot of changes coming on that front, just overheard some Thunderbird developers working on, and I know our team is rolling out more 'color coding' of addresses as a visual clue about who is on the other end of your communication..

(Course, I guess it should be the 'send' button that is smarter ;)

But fortunately, the cases you are talking about tend to be 'outliers', and usually single events, so aren't easily confused with a list washer reported at 100 ISP's at the same time, or 100 user accounts on the same server at the same time..

Only problem is we have to stop naming our kids 'michael', as my auto-populate doesn't start until the 9th character ;)

Both in the “Consumer” space, but even more-so in the Corporate space

While most of the misdirected email I get is just a nuisance, just last week a lawyer at a law firm in California, with whom I have no connection, emailed documents in a case, with which I have no connection, to opposing counsel, with whom I have no connection (are you a detecting a theme here?) - only somehow they sent them to me instead of opposing counsel.  I say "somehow" because there is literally no connection at all - the fact that I am a lawyer was a coincidence, but a fun one, because I got to reply-all pointing out the error of their ways (and an egregious one at that). ;~)
