Address harvesters are very simple, they just follow links and either
look for a "mailto" or an "@" and copy the text either side of it
until they reach a space. They can't reach a page which isn't linked
to by other pages, and they can't read Javascript so you can put
email addresses on your pages concealed by a script like this:
<script>
//Anti-spam address builder
var user = "steve"
var domain = "uxn"
var tld = "com"
document.write("<a href=" + "mail" + "to:" + user + "@" +
domain + "." + tld + ">" + user + "@" + domain + "." + tld + "</a>")
</script>
I've been using this method on all my sites since 1998 and have never
once received spam to any address published using this method. (if
you're running a commercial site the chances of a visitor not having
javascript turned on are minuscule)
