[AccessD] RE: [Accessed] New EMail Address

Thanks for reminding me of this.  I used a service that builds that numeric
string (and hope they aren't spammers;)

webemail@colbycon&#1
15;ulting.com

Used Dreamweaver to search and replace the old mailto, then put it to my
site.  Should all be fixed up.  Now if that address starts getting hammered
we will know that either the service that built the string was a spammer or
the harvesters aren't fooled by this trick.  In the end however, the email
address is a custom address just for my web site and I can change it on a
moment's notice.

Hi John:

Do not forget to set up your new address in the contact section of your web
site as follows so spam-bots will not be able just extract it. (It does not
matter what shows on the screen, it is what is in the page code that the
'bots' search for.)

<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
user = "jcolby";
site = "colbyconsulting.com";
document.write('<a href=\"mailto:' + user + '@' + user + site + '\">');
// End -->
</script>

HTH
Jim

Anyone who has me in their address book should note that my email address
has changed to jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com (notice the W).  I have turned
off jcolby at colbyconsulting.com due to an overwhelming flood of spam,
approaching 300 spam emails a day.  While my email filter was extremely
accurate in getting them out of my inbox there is the occasional (1 in 500
or so) false positives where a good email gets put out in the spam folder.
It is getting very hard to find them so it's time to just shut that email
box down.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
