[Nfb-web] FeedBack Form Spam

[Michael Hansen]

Marvin,

I am sorry for not replying earlier, I got caught up in all the goings
on of the Nebraska State Convention. To really keep people from
getting ahold of your email address you have to make sure that it
doesn't appear anywhere on your website. This includes the source code
behind the scenes. It sounds like you are getting a bunch of spam
already and I don't have a good answer on how to stop it once it
starts. To protect yourself and others you serve in the future I would
suggest the following.

1. Use a form to send emails from your website instead of posting
actual addresses.Find a CGI app to back up your form that either keeps
the addresses in a secured file on your webserver that it only has
access to or even bettem a app that encrypts the addresses.
2. Look carefully over anything you post. Don't post email addresses
at all not even things like "someone at myserver.com". They will get
this as well.
3. Everywhere you removed a email address put in a link back to your
online email form. Then make sure the email address you removed is on
that is available via the form.

Sorry for the late reply,
Mike
