Ron...how well does the graphic of your email address on the main autohost page work for stopping spam? Is it noticeable?

Well, since I started doing it so late, I don't know. I started using it mainly to prevent any new spam.

I use Pegasus for downloading my email, and it comes with a pretty comprehensive spam filter file that I can easily add to.

I used that idea with a new e-mail address that I recently created, as it seemed like a good idea. Of course some people may not like the fact that they cannot simply click on the address to send me an e-mail (I did not add the mailto link) but that is better than receiving 8,000 spam a day. Wink

I will not know how well it works until the web-site starts getting a few more hits and is a bit more popular though.
