Thanks Deb. I think we need to put the email addresses on the site, but perhaps not in "mailto:"; tags. Is that what the bots look at when scanning?

Unless a client insists, I do not use site email addys. It's my understanding the bots have figured out how to decode all those little coding things people have been using to try to circumvent them. As for forms don't even bother w/a cgi form - they just pummel those and feast like no tomorrow. Use a strong php email form is my suggestion. ÷÷÷ ÷÷÷ ÷÷÷÷÷ ÷÷÷ ÷÷÷÷ Deb Designer @ Digital Mouse Designs com ____ The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: unknown lmsubst tag argument: '' To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
