Replying to all inbound messages with a bounce is an old idea. The theory was that legitimate senders would validate their address and get added to a white list. The scheme didn't work for the same reason captchas don't work.

Maybe an old idea and you can feel about it however you want, but it's still in universal use right? So it's not quiet or am I misunderstanding what you're saying?
