Ask Agaric: Putting e-mail addresses on a site?

My spam filter is now catching close to 300 messages a day.Since my email is the only one on the website, I’m wondering if these spams are coming via the website? And is there something that can be done to stop this?

We’d like to load all the staffs emails but I won’t do it if it increases their possibility for this much spam.

Thanks.

If we didn't write this already, as a rule one should not have any e-mail addresses listed on a site. There are ways to obfuscate e-mails, but it's better use the contact form.

Dan had actually set up, originally, a contact form that would let site visitors select different people to direct their messages too.

OR-- is your spam e-mail coming through the contact form (does it always have the site name or other information about your contact in brackets in the title?)

best,

benjamin
