Abstract Anti-Spam
by Wibbleware

  There's nothing worse than an in-box full of spam, is there? If you display an e-mail address on your site, the spammers use their automatic spam bots to search through your pages, 'harvesting' your e-mail address.

Abstract offers a truly simple solution to this problem. Instead of displaying your e-mail address in text (which the spam bots can easily read) it draws your address as an image on the page. It looks like text to you or me but the spam bots just can't read it!

Behind the scenes, you configure Abstract with a specially formatted e-mail address. This format is easy for you or me to read, but a spam bot simply doesn't have the capability to understand it.
