I've known them to actually "steal" email addresses and post LOTS of
spam
from them. My wife had that problem, as she was getting lots of bounced
messages for stuff she never sent. She contacted her ISP and let them
know
what was going on before they got complaints and shut her address down.

I think they tend to only use the one address for a little while, then
move
on, as the problem hasn't reoccured.
