Here's another thought.

Suppose the MTA had spambayes support 'built-in'.

It could reject the message after DATA by returning a 500 series response. That 
should generate an NDR at the sending MTA.

If the spammer is running is own originating MTA (how many of them do) then they 
might be interested in getting truly invalid addresses off their lists. 

Musing ..
