I am helping a charity which suffers a lot from spam and virus e-mails. They have a website on which their e-mail address is openly displayed. I guess this address has been visited by automatic e-mail harvester programs because they receive up to 300 spam and virus mails per day.
I'm not at all technical with websites, so I'm looking for a very simple solution. Would it be more secure to put this on the website, for example:
"abc500@provider.uk (Remove 500 from the e-mail address)"
In other words, put an incorrect address on the website, but with an accompanying instruction which a human could read and interpret. Or in some other way to break up the address, like this:
"abc at provider.uk (replace 'at' with '@' to send a message. Leave no spaces.)"
Any basic advice much appreciated. I'm afraid that any technical advice about java script or the like will go straight over my head ...
Thanks.
