We've seen it; we just don't like it :).  It's not a very effective
anti-spam technique; OK so it means you don't see the spam messages,
but it doubles the effect of the spam on the network, since every spam
message sent to your address results in a bounce message back to the
spammer.  Unless, of course, spammers check first with VRFY (which I
doubt...).
