How can the SMTP server validate the address if it doesn't have all the
information it needs? If the address includes a body checksum it can't be
validated until after the message body is seen, and the body is never
transmitted during CBV.

Note also that bounces often omit the body, so this kind of address can't
protect against collateral spam.
