I guess they do (or they should, never tried it myself) and I also believe that they ask for the email's password before they can spam mail everyone. To add insult to injury some sites require (or used to require) an email address and the respective password so "you can keep in touch with your friends" before allowing one to complete the registration process, or keep nagging you afterwards telling you that "you are not keeping in touch with your friends, please give us your email's password and let us mass spam everyone (tm)".
Somebody should write an imap server to pester such services, like, keep connections open a long time, pass data only very slowly, provide lots of random localhost email adresses, etc :P Dieter
