When the return address is valid, checking whether a given address
bounces or not. Best: if someone answers to ask what it is, his email
address is fully confirmed and will be included in a very good grade
address list for spam.
When the return address is invalid, those mails are meant to confuse
adaptive filters and make them useless.
