The only way they can do it is through a "dictionary attack", where they
guess names at your domain ("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]",
etc.).
The only way to prevent this from working is to have a "nobody" alias set
up. If you have one set up, then a spammer will either not use a
dictionary attack on your domain, or they will just get a bunch of invalid
addresses.
