As near as I can tell, the spammers just run under a few assumptions. RFC
requires one to maintain those addresses and have them point to a
human-readable address, and with this assumption they are considered
viable recipient addresses.
Granted, back in the day, we actually *used* these addresses for the
purpose, but due to this they've become mostly useless in my opinion.
As to why these people would be so stupid to do this, well, consider a
spammer. =(
