rodtrader Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 For those of you that have a business website, what are you doing to combat spam emails? It started out with about with just a few but over the past week I'm getting between 10 and 15 spam emails per day to my business email accounts. I'm hesitant to install a filter out of the fear of filtering out an email from a legitimate customer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Hi, You make 2 different email addresses available to spambots on your rodtrader website homepage. Using the mailto: link is easy & conveinent, but spammers will find them easily also. The best remedy is to add a good form handler on your site & remove the email links altogether. Good luck, Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dampeoples Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Taking the link out isn't going to help now, you're already on the 'list'. Jerry is right, though, a form email script will work, if they do manage to figure it out, they'll just email you directly. I don't know anything about filters, other than the one that's included with my Mac, but there is a learning mode, where it flags suspected messages, and on mine, and I assume on all email filters, you will have the option to have the filtered messages placed in a seperate folder, you can go through this folder periodically to check for good messages.
