Sure...

If you use a fake mail address, for the purpose of doing any sort of fraudulant
activity, you can not only be charged with the fraud crime, but also for using
the US Postal Service in accomplishing the fraud.  IE fake mail addresses to
allow you to get multiple welfare checks, multiple social security checks,
multiple absentee ballots...  etc...

Incorrect mail addresses cause no problem...  particularly for the sender.  It
is the recipient that has to be careful...
