The problem with just the Domain name thing is that you then need to support the server so :
a) you need a server b) need to power maintain and maintain security on etc etc c) need to host it if that's what you are doing d or home host which is strictly speaking against your service agreement Obviously how much of the Alphabet you use depends on your selections, still a PITA though.

Companies used to mis-spell the name or address in every way imaginable (plus a few more besides) and those same mistakes would turn up in junk mailings, revealing (often surprisingly) which of many everyday businesses used to do this. I suppose this is same principle - putting variations in the email addresses you use to back-trace where it got onto mailing lists in the first place.
