I was recently at an anti-spam conference. I met an e-mail admin who ran a domain that had been inactive for two years. That is, for two whole years, the domain "xxx.ca" had NO published MX records, and any e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] would fail. (xxx.ca is not really the domain; I obscured it for privacy reasons.) Out of curiosity, the admin published an MX record for that domain. He was *immediately* flooded with 100,000 spams/day. I believe this settles the discussion as to whether spammers clean their lists.
