The problem is that a lot of spammers will do something very similar to
this, where the usernames are similar, but not always the same. So it
might be "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", ...
While it might not be difficult to detect the identical usernames, it would
be difficult to detect the similar ones.
Also, it's common to receive E-mail sent to multiple postmaster@ or abuse@
accounts.
