ecause spam is such a problem,
I have systematically sifted through the web to find as many references to
my e-mail addresses as possible and done what I could to remove them. On my
web site I have attempted to obfuscate my e-mail addresses by writing the
underlying mailto: link in ways that a browser could read and interpret but
might not be legible to a web crawler looking for e-mail addresses. These
efforts were only marginally beneficial because not all places where my e-mail
addresses exist can be changed and because web crawlers are getting smarter.
The Mail Warder is my most recent attempt
to combat spammers. Written in php, it is an assemblage of some code found
on the Internet augmented with some of my own coding. Unfortunately, by the
time I found the basic script that Mail Warder
is adapted from, the author's name had been lost. Where I have an author's
name, it is preserved in the code.
Unlike many form mail pages, Mail Warder
provides a BIG box for you to write your message in. I have always intensely
disliked the tiny little boxes that some web sites use. And, at those other
sites, once I've written the message I don't have a copy of what I wrote unless
my corespondent includes it in a reply. With Mail
Warder you will get a copy of your message. Tick the checkbox to disable
this feature if you don't want a copy.
