Defeating Spam with Mail Form?

[Shining Arcanine]

Or you could just use a simple HTML hash (for example):

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?Subject=Hello">Test</a> 

For example. I've been using this since 1998 on my pages on my personal site, and not once has it been "lifted" by a spambot. The only "spam" i ever got on the address I use, was due to a dictionary attack, and I never received another spam again. And its a fairly "easily" spammable type email address.

That is what I suggested. The email encoder encodes anything into its equivalent decimal entity.

It can be decoded by a spam bot (since the browser can read it) but the chances of a spam bot being that intelligent are at least 0.01%.

My suggestion of the other things were to create a layered shield (although I only get spam when a spammer guesses my email) against spam like I have on my site.

Though, that is for people who run Apache, and they would have to do that in an htaccess.

How about those who dont run Apache ( ie IIS ?)
