20 Jan 2007 : Building a spam barrier #
I've been so inundated with spam that it's finally driven me to distraction. My suspicion for a long time has been that my spam problems are due to spambots harvesting my email address from this website. Consequently, I've added some protection to try to prevent this from happening. As I wasn't willing to remove or obfuscate my email address, the solution I've settled on has been to add some 'person testing' code that checks whether you're a bot or not before handing out my email address. Hopefully this won't be too annoying, but will have some positive effect on the deluge of spam.
