And just how do you know that those addresses don't belong (or *will* 
belong!) to innocent bystanders who will then receive spam because *you* 
have signed them up for it?

Even if an address currently does not exist at an existing domain - it 
could be (re-)created tomorrow. (Although unlikely with the long randonm 
strings, it's quite likely with short strings or real words like 
'jcclt' or 'coups'.)

If you want to poison a spammer's list, use addresses that *cannot* 
exist. See RFC2606: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2606.txt
