Sure.

Preferably something random.
True. At the twiki "obfuscate" page I referenced a
coupla emails ago, they mentioned something along this line, though to
pursue may take us away from the work more in need of doing:
SlashCode now
supports auto-spamblocking, see
http://slashdot.org/ for
details about Slashcode 2.2 - they rotate the spam blocking algorithm
every day, which may be a good idea although it's obviously more
work
Would this help from http://www.rahji.com/spam.php3 :
Another way
to write your email address in an HTML page in a way that might
confuse robots but will look normal to humans is to replace the @ in
your email address with an ampersand, followed by #64; (ie:
ampersand-pound-six-four-semicolon). The browser will render it as an
@ sign so it will look normal to readers of your web page. Try
it.
they also mention
With very
little perl knowledge you could write a script that converts email
addresses on your page to the human-readable equivalents I described
way at the top of this page: jjx3 at rahji dot
com
Start with
these substitutions in perl: s/\./ dot /g; s/@/ at /g;
[Any]
"mailto:" link[s can be encoded into] into hex. I don't know
if it really fools many email-grabbing robots but I suspect it might
since most of this kind of software is written by crappy programmers.
To convert an email address to its hex equivalent, apply this perl
substitution to it: s/(.)/ sprintf('%%%2x',ord($1))
/ge
This would
make an address like address@hidden look like
%6a%6a%78%33%40%72%61%68%6a%69%2e%63%6f%6d, which works perfectly
fine as part of a "mailto:" link in any browser I've seen.
Strange but true. If you find a browser that this doesn't work with,
let me know.
