I'd be in favor of it, not just for obsolete accounts, but also completely bogus accounts. I frequently see spam directed to, or copied to, email addresses where some spammer obviously fouled up an originally valid address. eg: with an email address of [EMAIL PROTECTED], I am getting many a spam directed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Obviously I wouldn't want this to be a +100 blacklist, because on rare occasion someone sending real email might make this same mistake. But if we could easily specify a +5 or +10 blacklist, that'd be enough to eliminate all spam while letting almost all real ham through.
