Hey, I think we could do the following to fix the spam issue: -- obfusicate further EVERY email that is public and not a list into a hash. -- to get the real email, you would need to click the hash and it will take you to a page on master.php.net where you would be required to type in a short phrase from an image. This could be done with minimal hassle every time... And by using a crypted hash, we wouldn't even have to worry about doing a db lookup to get it back - we can just decrypt it if the letters and numbers typed are good. This won't prevent the fact that we're still going to get a bunch of spam.... But it will improve the fact that I doubt anyone else will crawl our sites for spam addresses. -- james -- James Cox :: james@imajes.info :: http://imajes.info/ Was I helpful? http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/wishlist/23IVGHQ61RJGO/ Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. - Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill
