something I've always wondered

Does DES (or name your favorite encryption algorithm) produce as output
all possible cyphertexts of length L, given all possible conbinations of
keys and plaintexts of length L?
Since there are more combinations of key and plaintext than there are
possible cyphertexts outputs of length L, you know there must be some
combinations of key and plaintext that produce the same cyphertext.
Just curious,
