Yeah, but many of them won't.

Partly because some of them are lazy.

Partly because (in conjunction with other anti-spam measures) they'd
be burning through domains even more often than they already do, and
that does cost something (albeit, on a spammer's budget probably not
enough to be truly prohibitive).

Also, for botnet-generated spam (which is a lot of it these days, or
so I've heard) they would then, unless I'm missing something, be
publishing a more or less complete lists of all the zombie hosts in
their network, which I think would not exactly hinder efforts to shut
them down.

I am not in any way suggesting that this check will by itself solve
the entire spam problem completely.  Haha.  No.

It would just be one tool in the toolbox.
