How to prevent spambot from detecting emails from forms

[gm1234]

People shift from providing email addresses to using forms (for contact) in order to avoid spam

bots. But there are some new spam bots today which can detect email address even through forms

present on a website. Any solution to prevent this?

generally the form action is as follows

<form action="xyz@xyz.com">

Any other way this can be written to prevent it from being detected by spam bots?

How about writing the action tag to a CGI/PHP/Perl script that does the job for you?

probably the easiest solution. I think you can find some free cgi-scripts if you google a bit..

try this:

Easy, Don't expose emails ANYWHERE in your source.

aside from making my otherwise anally-neat php file a complete mess, it's awesome!

thanks for the tip.
