Although interesting at first glance, I don't think this idea is
fully-baked.  :(

If I send someone mail, they will get my dated address and will most
likely assume it to be my regular address (albeit a long one).  If
they put this address in their address book so they can send me
correspondence later, I will need it to work like this:

* e-mails sent within the address' expiry should go through
unchallenged

* the first e-mail after expiry should be challenged, and then the
sender's address should be added to my list

* all future e-mails should be unchallenged because they are not in my
list (although the address they are using is expired!).

By dropping mail to expired addresses, I am sabotaging this chain of
events.
