addresses with their ascii equivalents.
How can the harvesters see CFMAIL code? That gets processed server side and
never goes anywhere near a client browser?

Subject: Hiding an Email Address from harvesters
Regarding SPAM Email Harvester Bots...
There's some really good _javascript_s out there to protect an email
address in a standard "MAILTO:" link, but the harverters are also
grabbing addresses from CFMAIL tags.
Anybody got a good technique to "hide" the email addresses in "CFMAIL"
from the harvesters?
By the way, I've got a page working now that uses _javascript_ by
D.K.Merriman to generate a ton of false email addresses, then record the
IP address and other information about the crawler and email it to me
so I can see what's hitting the page. The page then has links containing
random variable that point back to itself so the harvester will follow
the link back to the page and get MORE email addresses.
I grabbed one last night:
address = 63.121.30.223
host = 63.121.30.223
agent = Mozilla/4.7 (compatible; FlipDog; http://www.whizbang.com/crawler)
page = /myEmailList.cfm
It looped through the page close to 100 times, thusly grabbing several
thousand "dud" addresses....
