Not if the addresses only work once or in the appropriate context.

These are not names, they are capabilities.

(I'll try to write more tomorrow)

Keep in mind that while this gives the user control, it gives the 
owner of the mail server hives.  Unless the costs significantly 
change the volume of email simply increases dramatically as the 
spammers try and figure out which of the many addresses you have 
published might be willing to receive their email.  Sure, *you* don't 
get them--but that doesn't mean the traffic isn't there.
