Umm..Yes there is!. As a domain owner that receives (at times) 100+ fake bounced emails per day at times. Granted trying to mask the URL is probably somewhat pointless since there are many ways spammers can find valid domains to spoof return addresses but every little bit you can do to protect your domain helps. Notice that I started (about a month or two ago) stopped posting with my real email address/name. I don't like doing it and I realize that it is probably futile to try to stop these things, but you really should respect the wishes of the domain owner.
