Here we have a 'personal data protection' law that forbides anybody to
transmit to third parties any email address (which is here considered as
personal data) without prior permission from the owner of the email
address. This is even worse if that personal data is transmitted to
countries without the same level of data protection as our country
(which is any non european country). I think this is also part of
an european directive. Obfuscation also protects agains harvesting.
In the other hand, obfuscation of email addresses can prevent others
to test or verify problems on the poster side. Maybe it will be better
to use generic addresses (like test@??? or nobody@???)
instead of real email addresses, specially if the email addresses used
are not your own email adrresses.
