Spammers send out their email harvestor bots all the time.  If you put your email address on your website as a link in clear text, you will begin to get “spam”.  Given enough time, a LOT of it.   Email encoding can help a lot.  Ultimately, not putting your email address on your website is the best solution and stick with feed back forms that incorporate captcha images or math captcha.  A simple script by Craig Dansie, author of the Dansie Shopping Cart, can be found here: http://www.dansie.net/mail.html

It’s free.  Nice huh?  If you would like Craig Dansie to install it, he can do so for a very modest fee of 35.00 USD.

If you wish to put your email addresses on your site, here are a few helpful links to help you do it “securely”:

Be spam free before you have to pay a fee to be free!
