This article discusses some of the ways in which spammers obtain addresses,
and random generation is one of them.

I've also had an address used to send me spam within a couple of hours of
first using it, implying that there's some eavesdropping going on. I've
also had email addresses on my domains used as forged "sending" addresses,
so that's one way in which my luckless domains have been propagated across
the Internet (found I was getting scores of NDRs).
No, I don't want to run an email server - I want a service provider to do
that for me!

I've noticed a large increase as well to my own domain - but not in your
league (thank goodness!) The odd thing is that while I get mail to
/ancient/ dummy accounts used for usenet, I also get some /very/ weird
made-up ones: There has never been a "johnsmithsvt" at this domain, nor a
"scottmike" nor a "Mju8HGf7Fnr" - so I'm not sure what's been happening
there.
