I'd have thought there was a fair chance that they would.

Either:
  1. Harvest someone else's [email protected], split each into two and reassemble new addresses, either based on common patterns or just randomly;
  2. Identify high volume forum sites, take the distinguishing part of sitename.com, and prepend it to a list of domains you already have.
Maybe just the way my mind is planning for evil geniusness .
