I've been doing this for years. It's fascinating (and sometimes horrifying) which addresses end up on spam/scam lists. I used to inform companies when it happened, but they almost always go for plausible deniability with "spammers try random addresses at a domain sometimes, it must have been that".

Just a reminder that Adobe, LinkedIn and Dropbox have all been hacked/suffered data leaks - those aliases are the main source of my spam. The other is through mandatory public company registration in Norway that's consistently mined by some halfwits apparently selling stamps etc.
