Not really. When you go to www.denic.de or a similar
WHOIS page for Germany, you only have to read the
rules ("use whois contact info only for complaints,
not for spamming domain owners...") and then follow
some "yes I accept the rules", then you will still
get the full contact info. So source of email is
still very identifiable.
About the recommendation to use rfc-ignorant: A typical
SpamAssassin configuration would give 0.2 spam points
for abuse.rfc-ignorant and 1.7 for postmaster.rfc-ignorant.
Not sure how many malus points you get for whois.rfc-
ignorant, but saying "any mail from this country is spam"
is certainly a too strong reaction to "you have to read
and accept some rules before you can use WHOIS here"...
