One of the biggest sources of email addresses spammers use is collected by
harvester bots picking up your email from your website. If you need to
publish your contact email on your site, here's a way to hide it from the
harvesters yet allow legit users to email you with one click.
Make an image of your email address, say myemail.gif, and put it on your
page as below:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Hide email from spammers</TITLE>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function assemble() {
var part1 = "myemail";
var part2 = "mydomain";
var part3 = "com";
var part4 = "au";
window.location = "mailto:"; + part1 + "@" + part2 + "." + part3 + "." +
part4;
}
//-->
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H3>Hide email from spam harvesters</H3>
Contact us: <A HREF="javascript:assemble()"><IMG SRC="images/myemail.gif"
BORDER=0></A>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Subject: [cfaussie] OT: Anyone got an effective anti-spam and anti-virus
program at the server level?
I got a message from one of my clients today, whose web site I host, and
here's what he said ... I'd like to know if anyone's got any effective
measures to do what he wants .....

Could you ask your hosting company to virus-detect the emails and stop all
these sex emails coming to us almost 10 emails every day. If they can not do
this I have to move my hosting from you. In past few weeks we have lost our
server due to infected emails and down time has been 30% this is not
satisfactory. [/quote]
My initial reaction is to tell him he's living in lala-land if he thinks he
can stop spam, specially since his website has his email address on it in a
dozen places, but before I did that I thought I'd check and see what you
guys think .. Only TEN?? Porn emails a day? And how many opportunities
a day to share in US$30 million from some corrupt official in Nigeria?
(Perhaps he's treating those as serious propositions).
