Encrypt Mailto Links to Stop Email Spam

August 2, 2007 | Filed Under Resources by Robert

It’s easy to get spammed. One way to get spammed is to have email links on your websites because bots search through websites looking for <emailaddress>@<host>.<com>.

So, this is the best solution I came across. Type in your email address below and it will shoot back an encrypted mailto link for you to use. It is amazing, works great, and the results validate xHTML Strict.
