coding an email address to avoid spam harvesters?

[HomerJ]

Is this possible?

Is there any way to include your email contact on a webpage, besides listing it to look like ... mail at mysite dot com ?

do i just have crappy spam filters? most all professional companies have their emails listed directly with the @ and . how do they avoid getting scraped by spam harvesters?

even using forms or mailto: feature you still have to code the email address. can anyone help me here? i hate spam to death. heavan help any spammer that would ever cross me in a dark alley.

you could always make an your email address an image. people won't be able to click on it to mail you but it should work to avoid spam harvesters.

Listing your email address in the form "name at domain dot com" isn't really safe nowadays either, as most email harvesting spiders look for several patterns, including that one.

Like DomainsInc said, creating an image of the email is your best bet. As far as mailto links go, I personally hate them and never use them. In the case of a mailto link, there's no way to get around it, because like you said, you have to include the email address in the html markup.

Use a 'captcha' and obfuscate the target email address string, character by character with a simple logical operator so it's not readily visible in the source. This for the paranoid only

You can do it with javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
var y = "contact"
var z = "example.com"
document.write("<a href=\"mailto:" + y + "@" + z + "\">" + y + "@" + z + "<\/a>")
</script>

If you want to make it trickier, break up the domain into more than one variable.
