To a spammer, a spurious email address has almost zero extra cost. To the
mail servers of his provider, and the mail servers of any actually existing
domain, the cost is higher. There will be lots of bounces to already
overworked postmasters, and many addresses may actually exist.
Remember that spammers routinely spam *all* six-letter possibilities on
Hotmail.
I don't think your script is a good thing.
