" Spammers frequently intentionally redirect the backsplatter to innocent
" third parties giving them little opportunity to 'clean' their address
" lists. 

true; i've been one.

" As evidence, I'm still getting spam at "eredith at cv.port.ac.uk" despite
" the fact that was never a valid email address and the correct address
" (meredith at cv.port.ac.uk) hasn't been used since the mid 1990s. Yes
" spammers have been known to suffer from fencepost errors :)

also true; i'm seeing it here.  it appears you can count on every
address you've ever used hanging around forever, complete with
genetic mutations.

another fine idea blasted by reality...
