The idea to let a computer program make your moves and relaying them isn't _very_ original so we can assume that there are some correspondence players who really do it. They reach some level of rating - your guess what level that is is as good as mine. But if you look at the ICCF rating list you'll see that the top players score _way_ above that level ( my guess is at least 200-300 points). This list definitely includes players who don't use chessprograms at all or to a very limitted amount. Look at http://tables.iccf.com/jubilee/champions/50wcjt.html for example. Do you think it is very likely that Umansky uses a chessprogram to smash his fellow world champions ;) ? Looking at the tournament games I don't believe so.
