I don't know anyone who does that. But I know a lot of people who use
both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to distinguish among "has sent legit
mail", "is a spambot", and "no history". Those are handy when mixed
into the usual multi-factor spam filtering. Outright blocking on
conservative lists of spambots like the CBL (now XBL) works well, too.
