Mostly machines I suppose.

I find it personally OK. It's clear and I don't think a spambot could find that. I personally put my email address on my website as a link and I pay it with about 15 spams a day (luckily I don't use that email address for anything else but the website). Quite a lot of people use such kinds of strategies already, so I think there's no problem in using such a system.
