While I believe you're correct with respect to C/R systems, it was my
impression that this technique had been practised for signing up to
webmail accounts - such has hotmail - in a machine automatable way.
Having seen that done, it seems a small jump to identify common types of
such systems as appropriate to get the mail through, but yes, at the moment
it's not worth the effort.
