Yes, or auto-generated.  I don't care what they are or where they came
from.  I only care about gumming up their list of potential *recipient
addresses*, which they (according to the study) glean by 'bots and
spiders scraping web pages for email addresses.  Any garbage is
fine for that.  When spammers start sending mail to non-existent
accounts more often than existing ones, it'll be a waste of their time
and money.  Good.
