I have used this method more than once to find out if abuse@<domain> exists or not (and almost always throw in a known invalid name to see if the method works). The same method could be abused to probe for valid user names and that sort of thing.
For finding abuse addresses for a domain, I would recommend: # whois -h whois.abuse.net spammerdomain.com Johannes -- "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
