Today the problem of email spam has a simple solution on your side: 1. If you run your own mail server, then http://spamassassin.apache.org/ is your best friend. 2. Quite a few free public mail services, e.g. https://mail.google.com, provide excellent spam filtering. So you can openly publish email address in plain text form (like FreeBSD project does) without any abuse from spammers.
