Silly idea. Birthday paradox applied to incoming email will manage to
dump important messages 9 times out of 10 (remember 1 million to one
coincidences happen 9 times in 10).

It would run further if you got rid of the MD5 stage (which only burns
CPU and makes it potentially dangerous), and just escaped appropriately
dangerous characters.
