Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if harvesters are able to get email
addresses from your CFMAIL tags, you've got bigger problems than spam!
Since CFMAIL is used on the server side to Send email, the email address is
never displayed in the browser.

I don't exactly know, but the harvesters are getting smarter and
smarter. I did a test page with a standard CFMAIL on it, using a new
email address I set up for just the test, and I got my first 10 SPAM
email at that address less than 24 hours later.
Believe me, they ARE parsing CFMAIL tags and acquiring the addresses.
Will try another test setting the address in the application file and
see what happens.
