Some time ago I also had that problem in the PHP Classes site (notice at the bottom of all pages of http://www.phpclasses.org/ ) and some authors even complained. What I did was to replace all visible e-mail links by something like this that you may want to use in PHP site: <a href="mailto:webmaster-at-php-dot-net" onclick="location.href='mail'+'to'+':'+'info'+unescape('%40')+'php.net'; return false">webmaster at php dot net</a> Thanks to this, all e-mail spam ended because e-mail address harvesting tool don't know Javascript unlike real browsers. Of course it will show something like webmaster-at-php-dot-net in Javascript-less browsers like lynx, even considering the 0,5% of share of such browsers, I am sure that most their users will realized that they have to replace -at- by @ and -dot- by . .

I did a similar thing, but a lotta simpler: I just started to use the following "mailto": mailto:cortesi%40php%2Enet SPAM dropped in a significant way, without having troubles with peples who use browser with disabled javascript and people not smart enough to make '-at-' => @ substitution. that's my .02 euro Simone.
