I see this as a way to get spams... Let's say somebody that doesn't like
me sends 1000 messages to this address, then I might receive 1000
requests to register to the list.

I don't want this feature on my servers. Only the legitimate owner of
example.com@domain.tld should be able to register, and the others should
be filtered with something like DKIM or spf, or whatever you like that
can provide a kind of auth. So if you want to add such a dangerous
feature, make sure it's disabled by default.
