For randomly generating data which look like addresses, I use:

That's a great source, and I can generate dictionaries using the other
advice. If you don't request comma delimited, each record per line has |
as a field delimiter, so making big dicts was easy. Naturally, I tried
emailing one of the addresses - aliquam at Nunc.org - but it appears to be
dead ;')
Come to think of it, since I used | as a delimiter, what happens if you
generate a CSV file from data that already has commas in the text?
