I've used them. One time when I chaired a BOF I collected the
email addresses to personally ask if they wanted to be involved
in the mailing list. (It was done this way because the list was
not set up prior to the meeting). So, having email addresses
was very important to inform everyone in the room of the list
address.
Maybe this is considered SPAM, but I don't think so.
