Anti email harvesting software?

Is there any software that is available to prevent emails from being harvested off your site? I run a dating site where we assign an anonymous email to the ad where replies to personal ads are forwarded to the poster's email via this anonymous email addy and there are a few spammers harvesting these anonymous emails and sending spam to them. :mad:

I am hoping there is a way to prevent this but can't find anything. Suggestions?

you cannot put an email online without it being harvested, especially contact forms...

Yeah, I thought about blocking IPs but a spammer changes their IP over and over and most likely is using some unsuspecting fools IP.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

document.write('emailaddy'+'@'+'domain.com');

</script>

interesting - looks like we have a solution using this that I found - http://w2.syronex.com/jmr/safemailto/ and click on the link encoded link with user-challenge - even includes a captcha. :)

You could try honeypots

(Immense lists of fake, randomly generated email addresses, and I'm talking millions. This reduces the overall efficiency of using the harvested list.)
