The address you are talking about are the addresses used for content delivery. 
Those are not visible to spammers (theoretically).

If you go to the archives you will see messages with e-mail messages that are 
theoretically obscured.  Unfortunately, they aren't very well.   from archive

Here is an attempt to obscure dales e-mail address.  Unfortunately, the pattern 
that uses to display an "obscured" e-mail address is well-known and the address 
is easily harvested.  The same is true for an address in the body of the message

Same type of obscuration again easily harvested.  It would probably take me a 
day but I could write a program to harvest all e-mail addresses from the archives.
