    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.

    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...

      Want an Android App for your tube, membership, or free site?

              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.)
