So you guys may not have thought of this, or it's too complex... but it would be great if you added a section editor attribute called 'encrypted email'. So when the CMSB user enters an email address, that address is encoded so spammers cannot use. I have a client that displays ALL company email addresses for use of public, but has gotten hammered with spam.. here's an example of code that I currently use. (if you have an alternate fix for this that can be used within CMSB, that would be great... maybe a plugin?)

Email: <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
<!--
// Email obfuscator script 2.1 by Tim Williams, University of Arizona
// Random encryption key feature by Andrew Moulden, Site Engineering Ltd
// This code is freeware provided these four comment lines remain intact
// A wizard to generate this code is at http://www.jottings.com/obfuscator/
{ coded = "8FZuGFuuCgVZB9@gGBQFaBEVBPlWj.LEw"
key = "S0KLdQ9f1GUb8WVCABru2X5aYDzOgxZkoHvs7jhRPcniyJeIpq4ElTMNFt3m6w"
shift=coded.length
link=""
for (i=0; i<coded.length; i++) {
if (key.indexOf(coded.charAt(i))==-1) {
ltr = coded.charAt(i)
link += (ltr)
}
else {
ltr = (key.indexOf(coded.charAt(i))-shift+key.length) % key.length
link += (key.charAt(ltr))
}
}
document.write("<a href='mailto:"+link+"'>"+link+"</a>")
}
//-->
</script>

darn it.. I had a feeling it was this thing that you offered... I never actually looked into it. I hope this didn't take up to much of your time. Thanks as always for stellar communication.

I'd like to add that it's easy to implement, works very well against spam bots, and it extremely cost effective. I include it by default on all the sites I build now.

Hi Damon,

Has the spambot e-mail protector been discontinued? It's not listed in the appstore and isn't at the address in your post.

Hi,

No, we haven't discontinued it, just haven't created a page for it in the new site design yet, but can still buy the Spambot Email Protector from our order page here:

We're going to make it a plugin eventually. So you don't need to manually add it to every page anymore.
