Nobody likes email presented to them unsolicited. One way
spammers harvest email addresses is with your actual email address
embedded right into the HTML code. The spam robots look through
this code and pick up the address after the mailto: HTML tag.
A simple way of stopping the robots is through a piece of javascript
that spam robots cannot understand. Just replace or insert the
below email code within your HTML code. Change the "person"
to an actual name and change the "domainname.com"
to the actual domain name. This is at least one quick way spammers
will not easily harvest your email address.
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var name = "person";
var domain = "domainname.com";
document.write('<a href=\"mailto:' + name + '@' + domain
+ '\" ');
// -->
</script> >person@domainname.com</a>
