As I mentioned only 0,5% of the users use Javascript disabled browser. Those that do it either disable intentionally or user browsers like Lynx. I assume that such people are intelligent enough to realized that something like webmaster-at-php-dot-net should be changed to webmaster@php.net before they send in any e-mail. > I think a qmail-list has a disclaimer you have to reply on every time > you try to send a mail to the list saying that if the mail is spam or > unrelated material, you are obligated to pay every list member a $100 > fine... Guess that should stop most of those spammers ;) Oh, sure. BTW, the PHP Group must be rich because of that by now! :-) Seriously, the problem is that to spam this list you only need to send a message to webmaster@php.net . Spammers collect that address easily from the PHP site and mirrors because it is splashed in the home page of PHP.net . > But anyway, no matter what you do, they just keep going...

Sometimes the messages are so deceiving that you even see Rasmus and others spending time answering to them. My experience with the PHP Classes site is that the Javascript technique worked very well and no contributor that exposes its address in the site pages is complaining about any spam and still get real user messages this way. Just my 0,02 Euro. :-) Regards, Manuel Lemos
