Nah, if anyone owes anybody an apology, then whatever mail server admins 
decided that it would be a good idea to accept SMTP messages before 
actually determining that the RCPT TO address is, in fact, deliverable, 
thereby creating a deluge of backscatter and filling up your inbox, 
should be groveling on their knees and begging *you* for forgiveness. ;)

(I haven't seen any such spam messages myself; but the way I'm set up, I 
wouldn't receive them even if that is the case.)
