I have a client that just heard about web email spiders that search website for email addresses then they are used for emailing junk mail to. I asked me how to prevent this. I know that it can be done in 2 ways. 1. robots.txt file but many programs can get around that now. 2. Client side Java script this can be a pain to implement and handycapped people cant use it.(not sure of other downsides)

My question is: Is there some other way to help deal with this problem that is built in to Dotnetnuke? Or any other suggestions?

Thank you very much

your method 2 is implemented in DNN core ("Cloakemail") and used by core modules and e.g. UserDefinedTable.

How far around the portals does Cloakemail go... does it only affect addresses in specific modules.. how about text/html modules? I've been using a commercial add-on "PHD Cloaker" for this, but if it's all in the core now then I might not need to?

Hi,

I've been using this for quite awhile and it does work very well.  here is the link on snowcovered.  And it works across the whole portal not matter what module has the email address in it.

Robots.txt is just a text file for "good" spiders - they read it and voluntarily obey it. "Evil spam" spiders on the other hand just laugh and ignore robots.txt completely ...

I was actually just reading on the snapsis pageblaster forums that it can be used to cloak emails .. www.snapsis.com
