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.
