If you have ever had your email address published on a website you know first hand how annoying the spambots can be. These spambots cruise the web looking for email addresses that can be harvested and added to spam databases. There are several tactics that a web developer can take to try to curb or prevent this from happening but these approaches can sometimes be time intensive to say the least.
