texte = Few suggestions:1. Make your email address a graphic, of course people won't be able to click on it to email you unless you make it a mailto link which would defeat the purpose.2. Use a form to email where the sendto address comes out of a database.3. There's some javascripts that will scramble the email address so that it is readable on screen but the code behind the scenes is scrambled. I'll try to dig up a link to one of these.I'm sure there's many others, those come to mind first.GK-----Original Message----- From: WebDNA Talk [mailto:WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com]On Behalf Of Marc Kaiwi Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2003 10:29 AM To: WebDNA Talk Subject: Email Scavengers This may be old hat to some of you.I'm looking for the most effective way to post an email address on a web page in a way that would make it most difficult for the email scavengers to collect. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want to prevent the spammers from automatically searching and collecting email addresses.Any suggestions or tips appreciated.
