It's hard to say.  It's still a FAQ on Mailman lists, so people still
believe it's useful.  I don't think there's hard evidence either way
(even guessing depends on the economics of the spamming business, and
only the spammers really know that).

Concealing addresses is most definitely a useful way to avoid spam.
However, I would guess that the effective way to do it is to have a
personal address that is never used anywhere that is easily trawled,
not to try to obfuscate addresses that are visible on the web or
in posts to open mailing lists or Usenet.
