Re: Email spam bots - display name vs. actual email address
Hi apalmer123,
My understanding is that the bots are looking for anchor tags with mailto: reference. As they are usually working for spammers, the context of the display links probably don't matter to the bot program.
We utilize javascript and a secured contact form in an attempt to prevent web bots from stealing e-mail addresses from our websites.
Hope that helps,
Danielle
