Please review the Consumer Report article dated: August, 2003.
From the e-Mail spammer’s perspective, an inbox is an inbox! A spammer could care less who it belongs to. They do not differentiate between personal or business e-Mail addresses.
Receiving fifty to several hundred repulsive, repuginate, luid, rude and crude, unsolicited e-Mails a day is standard fare in today’s “e-Mail World”!
As gut wrenchingly aggravating as it is, you can now fight back! Anti-Spam tools, some by far better than others, are now available (many are free) to the myriad victims of this garbage.
We were not spared either. Commerce Connections ® e-Mail inboxes, and those of our clients, were plagued with spammer’s trash.
Not anymore, we found a couple of solutions! We hope you try them and that they will work for you. :-)
We prefer to stop the Spammers before they get started by using e-Mail Address Encryption.
Very simply, your e-Mail address is converted to a self evaluating JavaScript, hiding it from e-Mail-harvesting robots which crawl the web looking for exposed addresses. Your address will be displayed correctly by web-browsers, but will be virtually indecipherable to e-Mail harvesting robots.
This is one of the slickest tools to be made available in a very long time! It really works, and it is free!
Since harvesters read the page source code, not the screen, the source code can be encrypted and still display the correct information on the screen, but the harvesters can’t see it.
JavaScript Method:
Here is a way to encrypt your e-Mail address in JavaScript. Note, however, you can’t actually display your e-Mail address with this method.
Example: Contact
- <script language=javascript>
- document.write (“<a href=\”mailto:” + name + “@” + “domain.com\”>Jane Doe</a>”);
Example: Contact Jane DoeJane Doe
Just copy the 4 lines of script and replace the items in yellow with your desired e-Mail recipient.
