Context matters too - if you sent them to
resumes -at- bigcorp -dot- com, HR -at- bigcorp -dot- com, or even
general_contact_with_the_public -at- bigcorp -dot- com, well, they
should expect to receive resumes there. On the other hand,
jane_hiring_manager -at- bigcorp -dot- com, who has not been soliciting
resumes and with whom you have not even a tenuous
connection, maybe not.
Spam tolerence is definitely getting lower out there, so be
careful :)
