I have a form on my website to send data to my email address with the
usual line:
<input type=hidden name="recipient" value="my****@myaddress.com">
What is the best way do you think to hide my email address so that
spammer robots cannot harvest it?
Your form-handling script shouldn't be getting the actual mailing address
from the form itself, period. That's a giant security hole completely
apart from the possibility of harvesting, because it allows anyone to use
your mailer script to send mail to anyone. Spammers look for such scripts
and exploit them to send spam using the script owner's mail server.
