Do spammers really harvest e-mail addresses from websites? Yes they do!
They don't do it by hand, mind you, they employ web-crawling programs called "spiders" that go from
website to website looking for e-mail addresses automatically.
This conclusion was reach by The Center for Democracy and Technology after they conducted
