Mine isn't random, but it does help in figuring out where and when
spammers got my address.  (nb. Most tagged usenet spam I get comes
from ~1-month old addresses.)

(defun wsrcc-dated-posting-address () 
  (concat (user-login-name) "+gnus"
	  (gnus-time-iso8601 (current-time))
	  "@" (message-make-domain))

(setq gnus-posting-styles
      '(
	;; NB: last match wins. keep default first.
	(".*"
	 (address wsrcc-dated-posting-address)
	))
