There are several ways: take Joe Bloggs, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Joe at bloggs.com

etc. The idea is make is human readable, but not spambot readable. Some 
magazines I noticed have begun putting jpg or gif files instead of text 
for their contact addresses. I wish I had "corrupted" mine earlier. My 
various softraid.com addresses get over 200 spams a day. And since they 
are addresses like support, info, sales, etc, where anyone can write, 
with any kind of topic, I can't use aggressive spam filters. I recently 
activated postini, which was a total waste. It gets about 5% of the spam, 
at the highest settings. But it was free, so you get what you pay for.
