Yes. I have several spam-trap addresses in my web pages and they do seem to get hit often enough that I leave them there. I use my own PHP-driven script forms for messages that I want to receive via a web site. However, even this has been hit by spam (only 5 times). Users can specify only a message subject and content. The "to" address is hard coded into the script - no variable (unlike some popular "frommail" scripts). _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
