Is it possible to fool SG like this?

Saying: There´s an imganinary user with the adress: fuckoff.5.johndoe@spamgourmet.com
Knowing that it is a Spamgourmet-Adress and aware how the system works, I could send him mails after mails by using the adresses:
yourself.20.johndoe@spamgourmet.com
a.20.johndoe@spamgourmet.com
b.20.johndoe@spamgourmet.com
c.20.johndoe@spamgourmet.com
and so on.
It should be easy to write a script for my - imaginary - spam-machine, that creates on every opportunity a legal prefix for "johndoe@spamgourmet.com";
Right?
Countermeasures?

Look at the watch and prefix features in advanced mode. While they are not perfect using them will give you much better protection against a dictionary attack like the one above.

Irritating John Doe might not be a very good idea.
He might be technically savvy. And he might decide to track you down.
Most spammers have to provide a way to order. John Doe might attack the ordering mechanism.
Spammers can't take people to court since they could be served papers there. Some states provide for damages for UCE. sam@amsolinc.com owes me $400 or more.
