Email link scrambler - 2
Posted on Monday, May 15, 2006 at 6:28 PM
In this recent post I showed how email addresses can be scrambled so that it makes it very difficult for "harvesters" to gain access, and thus eliminate (?) Spam mail.
Well. I have come across yet another version of this scramble which you can either download and use locally, or use on line. It is available from this web site, and I am now using it on this WebLog and on my main web site.
It uses a very similar process, but is richer in options, as it can be set to send copies, blind copies, a subject line, some standard body text, and it can also generate a text link (email me, contact me etc) or an image link - the image you can choose yourself - perhaps an 80 x 15 graphic ? See this website to generate your own graphic, save it to your web and then in the email scrambler generator select that graphic.
Once all the information has been entered a simple button click generates the code, a test area displays the link that will appear on your web page (you can even test it out from within the generator), and another button click copies it to your clipboard from inserting into you page or template.
So, what does it output ? If you have a link, say an email address, here is just some of the actual code seen by the harvesters :-

Looks complete rubbish, doesn't it ? And that is just what the harvesters would think - no more Spam ! ! ! !
