Yes - the idea is, that the spammers wont be that quick. But I've
actually changed the default from 5 days to just 3 days because I
received a SPAM mail after just 4 days.

You can configure all this - the dated addresses I use in newsgroups
expire after 3 days. If you're on my whitelist, then you mail will
always be accepted, regardless of the address you send it to.
