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:
Another way is to simply obfuscate the email address using JavaScript so spam bots don't recognise it as an email address. I've a CF version of the safeAddress() PHP function by Dan Benjamin at hivelogic which I use when I've to put a mailto link "out there". Obviously, it wouldn't be particularly difficult to write a bot which can decipher the obfuscated addresses created by this function and obtain the plain text email addresses, but nobody seems to have bothered so far, and tbh, I'm not sure they will any time soon (fingers-crossed). If anyone wants a copy, gimme a shout off-list.
