I'm sorry, I just don't think it's worth the time and effort. I have a
mail script running on a site which is a directory of 200 businesses.
Those businesses just don't want the hassle of dealing with bogus email.

As J.O Aho has said, there is nothing to stop you logging the attempts.
Have you ever successfully prosecuted anyone?
