My personal opinion is that the spammers don't care either way.
My guess would be that they probably don't even bother checking the logs
of what worked and what didn't on the zombie PCs they hijack to send the
crap in the first place.
Probably far easier to just fire and forget.

I've been blocking a lot of spam at connect time that I am 100% sure is
spam. However I'm wondering if that is the best idea because it gives
spammers feedback as to what works and what doesn't. If I silently
absorb the spam and let the spammers think it's delivered then they have
no way to know if the spam is getting through or not.
Thoughts?
