This is what I thought. But ChristianKl is right: it doesn’t need to. From the first false positive you’re already doing damage with almost no cost to you. Sure your address will start to receive more spam, but it will be filtered like the spam you already have is.
But having it in the ISP, or as a really popular extension, would deal a big blow to spam.

If you have an extension that sends false responses the spammers will have an incentive to avoid messageing those email addresses.
But they could still use/ sell your address for spam that doesn’t work with a mail response, but clicking a link. (E.g. shopping for C1/\L|S.)
