I have a wildcard email address in my own domain and I receive a lot of spam on addresses that I have never used such as info@ or news@. Not trying to defend HN here, but if it's a custom domain and whatever comes before the @ is easy to construct, it may be automated spam. Nothing to lose for the spammer if it bounces back, but a partial success if it the server accepts the message.
