Hi Bob,

Well, I've use two different tacts to try and defeat spam, one that
works quite well is my return email address that I use on newsgroups
(and it IS valid! ;-) - think about what the spammers trim
automatically from posted emails and you will get it. The second is to
use my email address (parts@...) on the web site, BUT with using escape
codes inthe HTML coded part so the spam sniffers don't see it. Look
for 'munging your email address' on google for this trick.

With these two in action I only get about ten spams a day to my web
site email address(parts@...) and none (0) to the newsgroup return
address.

My regular one (JRR@...) I get a couple of hundred a day (sigh) but
that is because it is in WAY too many address books around the world -
but Eudora catches 95% of spam that comes in that way, leaving me
simply to have to review the junk (ten or so a day) that gets to the
inbox. If I opened a new address I'm sure it would not get much at all
using these procedures.

Oh, and I use a MAC running OS X so viruses, spyware, and worms are of
no concern at all.

John :


John, take a look at the website linked in the "orginization" line of
the header above. The e-mail javascript pulls the rest of the e-mail
address from the server and combines it with whatever page you are
looking at to give the compleete e-mail address.

Another advantage: I mirrored the site and gave it a different
address by editing one file for the entire website.
