That is a bad practice for following reason, if you have a relay server
like many of us and some bozo sends a dictionary attack to your relay
and the spasm have a forged yahoo from address, After your relay
attempts to deliver to your backend server it will end up having to
bounce all the invalid ones back to the sender. Now you are trying to
bounce 2000 messages back to yahoo and they block you.

That sucks.

Excessive send attempts to nondeliverable addresses could be a sign of a

spammer trying to bulk email. That's why they try to block you. It
happened 
to me a few times before. I delete these bad messages from the queue.
