Sure. There are various unsavoury folk "out there" who maintain vast
databases of email addresses. They sell them to those organisations
who want to engage in unsolicited email marketing, or "spamming" as it
is more commonly known.
These databases are populated by using "bots" (automated data
acquisition agents) to trawl web sites and UseNet for anything that
looks like an email address and grabbing it.
By seeding a published address with ".nospam", it is effectively
soured for spam-bots and rendered useless in the address databases.
HTH.
