Re: Unmine-able email?

If you don't want spammers to get your email addresses, you have to keep 
the email addresses out of the code altogether.  Nothing else is secure.

E.g. I use Matt's formmail.pl procedure, which I have modified so that, 
instead of putting email addresses in the HTML, I put codes which my 
modified formmail.pl procedure maps to email addresses.  For example, the 
code 'wm' is mapped by the formmail.pl procedure to my webmaster email address.

A secondary advantage of this technique is that it becomes impossible for 
spammers to use the formmail.pl procedure as a relay: formmail.pl will no 
longer accept email addresses as a parameter.
