I believe that for the puposes of registration with the Information Commissioner, our University registration is sufficient.

The main problem with obfuscation IME is when domains are obfuscated, because it's harder to verify if the problem is a DNS configuration error or an Exim configuration error. Obfuscation of local parts is less of a problem, so long as it is done consistently. Domain names are not personal data, so obfuscating them does not protect against DPA violations.
