Guest guest Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Cheryl, You might try, instead of an " email me " link or your addy on the site, a graphic image with your email addy, and then make that graphic image a clickable link to email. If you don't have photo shop or a banner/button maker I'll be glad to make you one, will take about 2 1/2 minutes. Better than that is to not make it a clickable link, but for some internet newbies the clickable link is easier. If you don't make it a clickable link, your email isn't anywhere on the site (unless you use paypal) OR in the source code, which is where most of the bots get it from. Keisha Hello female_tigress, In reference to your comment: è Chris or anyone else, I have tried many different html è or other scrips for encrypting my email addy on my è websites to try to prevent spiders or whatever from è being able to pick it off and spamming my mail box. è None of the ones I have found work. Do you know or è have one that will work? Even with MailWasher, spam è is still filling my inbox on the server and some emails è are getting bounced before I even download. Of course, è the ones I WANT seem to be the ones getting è bounced. I have filters for those that I know I want like è Butch, Chris, Kathleen and other è friends/family/business related but it still is a big è problem. drats, I am babbling now.

Making a graphic image was one of the first things I tried and I still got a lot of spam. I have had it a non-link where people would have to type it into their email but that did not work either. Tried both ways for 2 months (to make sure they got good trials) and during those two months I also was bouncing the messages back to make them think they had an invalid email addy. So I am still looking.
