Exactly.

Everything originating from known spam sources must be assumed to be
spam. (until maybe someone can prove otherwise out-of-band)

Exactly -- the worst kinds of spammers make their money on the number of
addresses they can deliver spam to and most don't really care if the
messages get read.

So, padding a spammer's address list with every possible postmaster
address creates a lot more income for the spammer.
