All it says on the site is Contact Chris or something like that. I know that my web host warns me if I put my email address on the site because this way does lead to getting heaps of spam. I have never received any spam from my site and that's great. If your web host does not give you forms for vistors who want to contact you then I suggest that you change web hosting programs. Regards Chris. Hi I personally use a contact form on my site.

Yeah - I'm still getting truckloads too! It looks like drastic measures are needed here. If you have multiple email addresses which are the source of the spam, can you determine which ones or the main culprits? Start with them! First up, create a new "public" email address. This will replace your current address wherever is published on web sites you own. Only this time, don't make it clickable - use the web @ yourdomain.com or web [at] yourdomain.com format. A better alternative - set up ONE contact page with a form on it, and wherever your email address appears, link it to this new page with the new address. Next, create a new address for your main account. Use this for your outgoing email (reply-to address) on all new messages you send out. Tell only the important people on your address book about your new address. Over the next few months... if something really important comes into the old address, work out how to change it to your new one. Eventually, you'll be able to kill off the old one. Good luck, Stephen Hi Max.
