Default OT. new antispam laws in the US

The message
from Jane Ransom contains these words:

Most spammer sites ignore bounced mail.


Nope . . . . you are WRONG.
After bouncing the mails that came to us after my husband's little
lapse, WE DO NOT RECEIVE ANY SPAM on that mailbox.


Not until a new CD of 'working addresses' goes on the market.

Most of these spammers only use the list once anyway, and never see the
bounces or even know about them.

All they are interested in is the very small proportion of hits that
generate replies to a website (I'd guess, never having read any of
them.).
