this would be too easy to get around, just like you can get around printing your email address on a page in a way that spambots can harvest it. I'd be really annoyed too if some form rejected my submission because it thought I'd put in an email address. Perhaps in these cases instead of informing the user, just inform the site administrator to deal with it manually (reject/edit/approve the user's message).
otherwise, if you have a message like "Sorry but we don't let you put email address or phone numbers in this form", I'd just put in something like: email @ my domain.com
to get round it.
I am sure that once a user is warned that will be the end of the problem as it is simply not worth their while to risk being dumped from the system, The warning that we have sent the message butt removed the email etc will be sufficient to let them know that trying to get around the system will not work.
Thanks to all for the coments. very useful when talking to client..
