People avoid posting email addresses in directories because they don't want their email address harvested by spammers.
The definition of spam isn't that clear, but usually it is unsolicited mass emailing for a commercial purpose.
So a one-on-one email shouldn't be considered spam, but some people think of any unwanted email as spam and complain. Sometimes ISPs treat you as guilty until proven innocent.
It is usually better to focus on attracting the right people to you and having them subscribe to an opt-in list rather than emailing people you don't know. I have thousands of people on my list who want to receive my material and it is much easier to market to them than to try to ambush strangers with my marketing message.
