How on earth is that anonymous? All of your emails are on the same domain, and nobody else is using that domain. As soon as I see an email @jamesboehmersdomain, I know that it belongs to jamesboehmer.
You're right, it's not 100% anonymous. But my name's not in the domain, and I use WhoisGuard with my registrar. It's reasonably effective, cheap, and a low effort way to deflect the bots and identify suspicious activity.
I wouldn't tie my entire digital identity to whatever's cheapest if I could avoid it.
In my case I use my CC TLD. I'm in a generally stable nation that follows the rule of law and the administrator of the CC TLD has all sorts of processes in place that I have access to as far as regaining control of the domain if it's inappropriately transferred, making appeals, etc.
The extra $10 or so a year this costs is very much worth it to me as basically a form of insurance.
Another issue is that unless one also gets a new IP address for the mail server, it might be possible to associate the real domain with this "anonymous" one.
