Recently I noticed spammers using the openacs.org community directory as a source for their mailinglists.
I noticed because I made a special mail address just for openacs.org and got spam on it within a day (ranging from the usual drug adverts to 419's).
In the IRC channel there are three proposals offered so far:
- using mail forwarding (no mail adresses on the site, just a link "contact this person", with some added difficulties to make life hard for scripters)
- displaying mail addressed as images
- constructing the mailto links using javascript on pageload
Comments are welcome ...
