I used to do this, and recall one particularly irate call from someone asking "why is my company name in your e-mail address!?!" They seemed to be concerned that I was impersonating them.

That's why I permute it, so it's not so blatantly obvious. OTOH most email signup handlers are robots nowadays and no real human ever pays much attention to them, so it hasn't really been a problem for me.
