Thread: Email format against spammers

It is known that spammers search through forums like ours and gather emails posted there. However, you can protect yourself effectively. When posting your email address for a potential pen pal, I recommend changing it a bit to avoid getting on a spammer's list. Example:

Your email: name@mydomain.com

Changed email: name at domain dot com
Or: name _ at _ domain _ com
Or: name_____________a___t___________domain________com

Good luck finding a pen pal!

i create special address for forums, and special for my friends.
in my ''forum miil'' are always many spam, by in mail for friends no spam

Andrei has the best idea--
Make a separate "forum" e-mail. Then tell your pen-pal that e-mail so they will e-mail you there.
Then you just add them to your real e-mail, and from then on, e-mail them from your real one.

Okay, hopefully that makes sense.

Some more elaborate spammers pretend to be friends. Once they get your email you are on all kind of spam lists. The protection I suggested above is against automated email collecting.

Oh, I understand. Protection against robots, not humans.

Thank you very much! Оne has to be blind not to see that

If you want a foolproof method of protecting your email address from spambots, try reCAPTCHA Mailhide.

But if there is not the button "Edit"? There is only the button "reply"! What have i do?

Try to re-login and edit your post again. By the way, link is called "Edit Post"
