In reading some of the earlier posts, someone mentioned using Recaptcha to
protect email boxes being filled with spam.

After reading about Recaptcha, I guess I don't understand how it works /
where to use it. Can it be used in the "mailto:" area -- for example, the
CONTACT US of this website?

Thank you again,

Hi Brenda,

Go to http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/ - and enter your email address in the
Protect Email Address field and submit.

The resulting page will give you some HTML code [ignore the URL code] to
paste into the body of your html page where you want to display your email
address.

Then publish your page

Your email address will not be displayed complete - [eg hidden from spamming
robots with a few letters missing] - just click on the incomplete email link
and follow the instructions to reveal the complete email address just like
your visitors will have to do

Regards
--
Steve

Steve,

Thank you. I think something like Recaptcha may *not* be what I am looking
for.

On the website I am trying to build (http://www.brickwallbuster.com/new/) I
have a CONTACT US.

It's the spam that the CONTACT US will generate, that I'm trying to control.
Any thoughts on something that might work for that?

Thank you,
Brenda

Best idea is to use a form with a server side handler written in PHP,
ASP, asp.NET - whatever your host supports. Mailto links will always
attract spammers. They can be obscured with JavaScript, but this may
not be a permanent solution.
See http://www.jimcosoftware.com/addins.aspx and look for Spam Spoiler,
which will add the JavaScript to the page.

The email address shown on your pages may already be harvested, so best
to change it.

Thank you Ron - I will check it out, and will change her email address.
