No.  An e-mail address specifies a mailbox.  “A mailbox receives (e-)mail.”  
No e-mail can be sent to which you claim would be an e-mail address.

That which looks like an e-mail address is not one as it does not specify a 
mailbox.  This is a violation of network standards, and a blatant disregard 
of Netiquette, on your part.

The arguments made there are still valid.  In particular, if someone would 
register that which you are misusing in your From header field values, they 
would be bothered with messages meant for you; so you are spoiling a 
namespace that does not belong to you.  As it is, the admin(s) of your 
server(s) is bothered with error messages caused by messages meant for you, 
and people who want to send private messages to you are bothered with 
unexpected bounces (you *cannot* expect people to fiddle with their e-mail 
clients, let alone to know that they need to fiddle with them; your 
signature where you put is a hint as to that is not part of the message and 
may not even be displayed).

You are making life harder for everyone else, and you are *helping* spammers 
to destroy e-mail as a viable communications medium even though it is very 
easy and inexpensive for you to avoid getting spam using proper ways.

You should be ashamed of yourself, especially as this has been explained to 
you several times before.
