Do any of you here know much about stopping spam bots harvesting your email off your web page?

This company gets 85% spam everyday!! :chunks:

Is encryption software like this any good:

Or are there some crazy scripts that can be used? :confused:

Perl script is a ******!!

Mind you do any of these things actually work?

Simple, don't put a mail address on the page! Use a CGI form for people to fill in and let the script send it to you without revealing your address. Took my email addy of all my sites 2 years back when usd to think 20 spams a day was bad!

Someone else said something similar - about using a Java scripted form or something.

Is a CGI form some sort of server-side tomfoolery?

Yeah, CGI is server side stuff. You could also use ASP (as I would, coz I know nuffin about CGI, but CGI stuff tends to be more common) or Java.

Have you had a look at http://www.hotscripts.com ? There's usueullay something for evverything on there. :)

Interesting! Theres one site off hotscripts:

link (http://www.alertspam.com/default.php?p=script)

They generate the following code: for me@company.com

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var name = "me";
var domain = "company.com";
document.write('<a href="mailto:' + name + '@' + domain + '">');
document.write(name + '@' + domain + '</a>');
//-->
</script>

Do you reckon this would stop the spamming muthers??!
