One thing you can do is hide your email address using HTML special charachters ... for instance :
<a href="mailto:info@bluebr ick.com">info@b& #108;uebrick.com</a> It cut down the amount of spam I got in half .... Shlomy -----Original Message----- From: Michael Dinowitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 4:09 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: More list spam I'm still looking into this. The only thing I can see is that if a person goes to an archive and scans the posts, they can see email addresses that have been replied to. This is true in all archives from the 2 official ones to the 1 unofficial (and soon to be dead one). Someone with an agent can read through any of these places to scan for addresses. I'm adding a login to the HoF archive soon anyway so that'll slow down a scanner (but not stop one if written well). I'll also check the logs to see if someone's been hitting me and if so, they're blocked. > Apparently, SPAM is the deal of the day here on the CF lists...I just got an > email from "Michael McFayden" regarding "PC Mall and Mac Mall computer > solutions", and it was delivered to an address that I ONLY use for this list > (CF-Talk, Spectra-Talk, and CF-Jobs).
