Most people won't ever find this page. In the event you did find the link to this page, I suppose it deserves a bit of an explanation.

There are a few pages on my site where I have chosen to list my email address through the use of JavaScript code intended to obfuscate the actual address in a way as to avoid being snagged by spambots, but presents the address as readable to the human eye. I don't know if this actually works due to the large amount of spam I get at this address, most of which is due to a BIG mistake I made many years ago in listing this address as admin technical and billing contact for a domain I once owned. So I've decided to try this little test to see if I start getting spam at a couple of test addresses I've set up just for this purpose. Now that I've hung the nets, I'll just have to wait and see what I catch.


The first test address is:

The code:

<script language=javascript> <!-- var htm1 = "mail"; var htm2 = "to:"; var adres = ".net"; var adres = "@comcast" + adres; var adres = "spamt3st200604280421" + adres; var PrompText = adres; document.write("<a href=" + htm1 + htm2 + adres + ">" + PrompText + "</a>") //--> </script>

This is a simple test using URL encoding which the craigslist admins like to use in the anonymous remail addresses used in most of their users postings. The test address is: SPAM.DUNK@comcast.net

The code:

<a href=mailto:&#83;&#80;&#65;&#77;&#46;&#68;&#85;&#78;&#75;&#64;&#99;&#111;&#109;&#99;&#97;&#115;&#116;&#46;&#110;&#101;&#116>&#83;&#80;&#65;&#77;&#46;&#68;&#85;&#78;&#75;&#64;&#99;&#111;&#109;&#99;&#97;&#115;&#116;&#46;&#110;&#101;&#116</a>
