Believe me, nobody who has this address is an innocent user, I think
there's a decent chance that if I bounce the mail, they'll remove me
from their lists, but I don't think they'll remove me if I ask, or fill
out forms or whatever.

I do really want to bounce the email -- to make it clear that that
address doesn't exist.
