[Coco] [Color Computer] OT Preventing email harvesting, WAS > What the he

[George's Coco Address]

 I've been using this JS code for about five years. No harvester has gleaned 
email from this script. My visitors do not have to figure out anything. They 
just click on the link and their email client pops up to allow an email to 
me. Of course, the email is an alias. My website server forwards those 
emails to my REAL email address. I also use it in forms used in the formmail 
stuff from my web host. The thing works and I love it.

 If it didn't work, I would not have offered it here. Those spammers are 
VERY clever. They've found some of my email addies that I thought were 
fairly well protected, but this JS code has not failed me, yet.

 Get a new email address and try it out. You'll see that it really does 
work. Don't use that email addy for sending emails. If you use it to SEND 
email, you will get spammed on it. I promise. It doesn't matter who you send 
to, someone out there will have something on their computer that will reveal 
that address to the spammers. This I have learned from experience. It should 
be a recieve only email address. It should be a "Throw Away" address. Always 
reply with a different POP account. I garonteeya that the POP account will 
also get compromised by one of your friend's, family member's or customer's 
computer. But the email addy used in this code will not be compromised by 
harvesters.

 Nothing is absolute. People that send email to this might have unwanted 
software running that will reveal it to the spammers.
 All we can do is minimize the problem. FormMail using this script works 
really well on my websites.

 Try stopping junk mail in your home's USPS mail box! HAH! Forget it! I use 
it for packing material and to start my charcoal.
 The fake credit cards are handy for mixing and spreading epoxy and Bondo.
 Sample shampoo works, because I have little hair and a small package can 
last a few days. Hehe!
