Incidentally, that sort of thing does make it dead easy for you to
delete the spam for all accounts, including real ones.

You know, with 100% certainty, that a lot of messages to non-existent
addresses are spam.  So, all messages with same message ID, sent to real
and non-existent addresses can be deleted with impunity.  You won't be
accidentally deleting real messages misidentified as spam (real messages
don't get sent to masses of wrong addresses).
