"nor would there be any reason"? Take the number of mis-addressed pieces of mail per day (which was sufficient to even DDoS their Snubby server, which was hopefully not a very heavy-weight MTA), and multiply by the going rate for pre-washed e-mail addresses. Or phrased differently - given that it's all about the benjamins, is there any reason to expect them to *NOT* use the data they're being given to compile lists for spammers?
