Title: How to protect email addresses from spamming?
Post by: steven on November 16, 2008, 09:37:25 pm
What is the best way to prevent email addresses getting stolen by spam bots? I need to provide some contact info, an email address, at my website, but I am afraid I will start getting a lot of spam if I do publish it there.

Do not give your address to anyone. :)

The best way to protect email addresses in websites is to display them as images.
