The "IEMMC" crap that Sanford Wallace promoted was also an engine to generate addresses for spam use. I know of a few people (including myself) who tested this theory by using a very old account from which we had never posted to Usenet, mailing lists, etc., and signed up for "less spam" through the IEMMC site. Almost immediately, these accounts began receiving nearly 20 spams a day. It was pretty sad to see that certain providers who promoted the IEMMC actually believed that it would be beneficial to users and not harmful. /cah
