	Not a good idea, you'd likely lose your account.  Some people
read their logs and complain strongly if they see such probing events.
Hell, I even complained when one of our internal security people started
probing my PC at 04:18:20 every morning...

	I do, however, manually check every relay point in spam I receive,
to try to validate a complaint address.  That I believe is a valid and
defensible use of the protocol.
