If I recall correctly, if a user's email address is the kind that may
(or does) fail some antispam filters, it replaces it.

Antispam dectection in the sense that when you post a message, your
FROM address is looked at.  Checks that the SMTP server it came through
is an okay sender for your address (DNS records for your domain name
authorise that SMTP server).  And that *that* SMTP server isn't on
known spammers list, etc.

Funny thing is that I'm looking at this kind of thing right now, spam
filtering, as my hosting provider turned it on without my permission
and I wasn't getting some of my mail.  If I have to log into their
awful website all the time to check for detection failures, and for
multiple addresses, it's *far* worse than me just hitting delete on
spam as I come across it in my inbox.

Really, spam filtering should be before acceptance at the SMTP server. 
Rejection before acceptance, not accept and delete before delivery. 
And not bounce back to some forged address in the header.  Just a nup
not taking it in.  That way, someone trying to send genuine mail to you
knows you never got it, and can do something about it.
