Re: [OT]: how to protect e-mail on website?

["Pete Shew" <pslists@xxxxxxxxx>]

I also use a webmail form with a lightly encrypted email address that
is
unscrambled in PHP. The web form requires a human (or a clever robot) to
provide a response before it can be filled in and the PHP program checks
the "referer" value and a random session variable created when
the form
page was displayed to prevent POSTS from somewhere else. I could have
passed the email address in a session variable too, I suppose, but this
seems to have stopped the spammer.
