0) Most of the messages with smtp connection failures are spam (well,
   most of _everything_ is spam, these days). So it might be a 
   waste of effort.

1) It is probably not worth the effort of keeping track of the sender status
if what you want to do is make one more effort to confirm (or 
send a final bounce message) before purging.  In fact, I think
the messages where confirmations  don't bounce are more likely to 
be actual messages from humans (as opposed to spammers :-).
