I'd prefer something self-hosted and >preferably light on the resources. I don't like this sort of thing, but I have a client who needs it. What I did for them was to put the email address on the page encoded with base64, and use client-side script to decode it. i.e. the encoded data is replaced with the decoded data, once on page load. Hook up the decode function on the browser-side to your page load scripts.
