Erm, Robert.. Are you SURE the answer is no? Because that certainly looks a whole lot like a bounce message entry to me. Do you verify recipients are valid before accepting mail? If not, you'll end up generating a whole ton of bounce messages every time you get dictionary attacked. Those bounces will likely be undeliverable and get stuck in your mailque.
