I don't think the point is to only receive valid email, quite the opposite. The idea, from what I understand is to make it impossible for the sending server to be able to work out what are, and are not, valid email addresses because ASSP will start accepting a lot of email it otherwise wouldn't. This means the spammer can't just target your valid users. Also knowing what addresses the spammer is trying to use that aren't valid you can also pipe these directly into the spam corpus knowing you aren't missing valid email.
