A Google search demonstrates otherwise.

In this time and age, it is not an useful anti-spam measure. It is much
more likely that your email address is harvested from the address book
or the received emails of someone that has their email account
compromised because of a weak password (or, in this case, from any other
website that publishes it).

Cheers,
