Introduction

There is no need to explain what is spam and how annoying it can be. If you left your real e-mail address on a public forum, blog or newsgroup you will became a victim of SPAM. Sooner or later e-mail harvesting robots crawling the internet will find your email address and add it to their database.
After that you will receive dozens of messages about sex, porno, drugs, Viagra, various pills, medications and other unwanted stuff.

The same story is with the contact e-mail addresses written on your website. Webmasters and administrators are suffer from a great amount of SPAM e-mail messages.

Anti-spam filters do not solve the problem completely because spammers are very inventive in finding ways to trick the filtering software. So the most effective method is to hide your e-mail address from e-mail harvesting robots.

The most widely spread method to do it is to transform e-mail address so only human can read it. For example, instead of writing real e-mail address brandon@domain.com write slightly encrypted one - brandon[at]domain.com or brandon{nospam}@domain.com.
Another approach is to represent e-mail address not as a text but as an image.

All these methods have one significant disadvantage - it is not possible to just copy and paste e-mail address or send a mail by clicking it. User needs to edit E-mail address to make it usable.

Voynex has developed an anti-spam solution allowing to protect e-mail addresses and make this protection transparent for the website visitor.

How it works

Voynex Email Guard script is designed to protect e-mail addresses on the website from the e-mail harvesting software and to make this protection transparent (invisible) for the website visitor. User still can click, copy and paste e-mail address and does not see that e-mail address is actually encrypted.

As were said above to hide e-mail address it has to be unreadable for the robots. For example mailto:brandon@domain.com can be encrypted like this: mail_to_brandon_at_domain.com. Voynex Email Protect will make this address readable again but for the website visitor, not for the e-mail harvester.

Features

Our e-mail protection software is a small JavaScript run by the web browser on the client computer. The script transforms e-mail addresses written in a special way to their normal form.

The key advantages of the script are:

  • Very simple installation and use
  • Transparent for the website visitor
  • Search and replace tokens are configurable

System Requirements

Voynex Email Guard works with Internet Explorer, Mozilla FireFox, Opera, Netscape, Safari web browsers

Demo

This is e-mail address how it is seen by the e-mail scraper or e-mail harvester software:
<a href="mail_to_brandon_at_voynex.com">brandon_at_voynex.com</a>

And this is the same e-mail address how it is seen by users:
brandon_at_voynex.com

The script transforms encrypted e-mail address to its normal form.
