Top rules to do to protect from spam
Number 1: Do what you can to avoid having your email address out on the net. There are products called “spam spiders” that search the Internet for email addresses to send email to. If you are interested, do a search on “spam spider” and you will be amazed at what you get back. Interestingly, there is a site, WebPoison.org, which is an open source project geared to fight Internet”spambots” and “spam spider”, by giving them bogus HTML web pages, which contain bogus email addresses.
A couple suggestions for you:
A) Use form emails, which can hide addresses or also
B) Use addresses like sales@company.com instead of your full address to help battle the problem.
C) There are also programs that encode your email, like jsGuard, which
encodes your email address on web pages so that while spam spiders find it difficult or impossible to read your email address .
