    Do these nasty spam bots only search the code for email addresses, or do they also do a "visual search" ? For example if you just want to post your email, would something like this be safe:

    address & # 6 4 ; hotmail.com

    or this:

    address<--bla-->@hotmail.<--bla-->com

    I have been using this enkoder, but it relies on javascript to work. I was wondering what other good methods are out there.

    Thanks!

    I usually use the 'block of random crap' method.

    nick[REMOVE THIS IF YOU WANT THE EMAIL TO WORK]1presta@[REMOVE THIS TOO]infinity-stuff.com

    or something.

    For anyone using Wordpress, http://www.phrixus.co.uk/pxsmail/ is meant to be good and seems to have plenty of content and referrer checks to foil the spam bot armies
