Protecting emails addresses from spam in IWeb???

I want to protect the email addresses that I am creating in a website from getting spammed with junk. I understand how to use the inspector, etc however that does not protect anything. Is there some code that we could use besides this:
<script language=”javascript”>
<!– var part1 = “contact”;
var part2 = “allaboutiweb.com?subject=All About iWeb Enquiry”;
var part3 = “E-Mail Me”;
document.write(’<a href=”mai’ + ‘lto:’ + part1 + ‘@’ + part2 + ‘”>’);
document.write(part3 + ‘</a>’);
// –> </script>
because this does not seem to work, at least for me (nothing shows up in the box). Please let me know if there is an easier way to handle this. Thanks!

UPDATE: You can add <font color="#FF9933" face="Tahoma">Email Me</font> instead of the default Email Me in the second method to change the font and color of the link. Just be sure to use Web Safe Fonts so all platforms will look the same.
If you cut and paste the above text you'll get *& l t ;* (without the space between) in liu of <. Have to use those characters so you can see what the code looks like. So replace them with < when you enter it. Also change the color code to get the color you want.
I've updated the demo page to show using a different font and color. Check it out.

  • Giving users control of their own distribution list control to add or remove external email addresses from their list

    We are a Exchange 2010 SP3 shop, we have distribution groups (with over 200 email addresses ) from another email system which has only external email addresses (i.e [email protected] [email protected]  and so on …..)
    We want to import these groups into exchange. we called microsoft, they said create mail contacts for each address and put those in a Distribution Group.  I know this will work. 
    Our goal is to have the user create / maintain / add / remove external their own email addresses  (Not the IT department)
    There must be many companies whose requirements match ours. Are there third party tools that would handle creation of distribution list? 
    Any constructive advice would be greatly appreciated ! THank you

    I wouldn't give the ability to create contacts to everyone in the environment because it will become mess at some point of time and IT will have to jump to control it
    anyway so why don’t from the start...
    I would give this to certain people like Leads or Managers of the groups under certain IT Policy so it will be still under control and people
    will think before asking their superior to create them and someone gets responsibility to manage these contacts...
    Though here is the more specific article on how to delegate creating and editing contacts...

  • Transferring email address from old DNS to Business Catalyst

    I currently have a clients email address (ex. [email protected]) through an old Registrar site (Network Solutions) and am currently working on an Adobe Muse site for this client. Once the site is completed I will then need to complete a Domain Name Server change and transfer the address (ex. www.clientsite.com) and upload this through Adobe Muse. With this change comes the need to change the email from the old server to be now hosted by Business Catalyst. Is there a certain way to go about this? Not creating necessarily a new email through Business Catalyst but transferring an email address from an old server/network to our existing Business Catalyst account.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    When setting up a domain name with Business Catalyst, you can either host e-mail with BC or Externally.
    http://screencasteu.worldsecuresystems.com/AP/2013-11-28_1419.png
    When you're hosting externally you'll just be redirecting traffic when it comes to mail, to wherever you have e-mail setup. So after adding your domain in BC admin, you'll be prompted to add the mx record. http://screencasteu.worldsecuresystems.com/AP/2013-11-28_1420.png
    Network Solutions can provide the mx value. You will also probably setup a CNAME record so that mail.yourdomain can point to their login interface.
    (I've tried to search for any listings of their mx values and only stumbled across this post http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/mx-record-with-network-solutions, maybe it's of any value)
    You'll select Hosting e-mail with us implies creating e-mail accounts in our interface. So that means that it's best you back-up your e-mails before switching, as the actual e-mail account over at Network Solutions will be lost and re-created here.

  • I want to copy the name with email address from Mail like I could before Mavericks

    Hi There
    I have resisted upgrading to Mavericks for all this time because Mavericks now stops the name of the contact being copied when I copy the email address from the sender. What is now copied is: '[email protected]'
    What I want and what it used to be before Mavericks is: 'Dave Garnish <[email protected]>'
    I know it sounds petty but it has stopped me upgrading for all this time, but now I need 4k monitor support.
    Thanks in advance anyone who may have the answer to this.
    Best
    Dave

    The following Terminal command used to enable the use of the name along with the email address:
    defaults write com.apple.mail AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard -bool YES
    (Change YES to NO to undo the change.)
    I don't know if it still works.
    You can also affect this feature in the mail message via Mail, Preferences, Use Smart Addresses.  When unchecked the sender's address gets the name and angle bracket thing.

  • Never-used email address getting spammed.

    When I signed up for BT Broadband they made me choose an email address [email protected]. I have never used it to send an email, not even to BT.
    Within days of getting connected I began to receive spam emails on the new email address from a company called dabs.com. I worked out that they are the contractor BT uses to supply modems to customers. All dabs.com needed was my street address to post me the modem but BT told them my email address as well and they decided to abuse it. After I complained, BT said they would arrange for the emails to stop within 28 days but they've missed that deadline.
    Now I am receiving spam advertising male libido boosting tablets.
    How can my never-used email address have leaked? Can I blame dabs.com for selling it on to a spammer? Can spammers get them in other ways?

    Hi.
    dabs.com is not only a modem company, they sell all sorts of tech stuff. They used to be a separate company, but BT bought them a few years ago.
    Spammers get their email address in a vast number of ways. Even if you've chosen a new address, this address could still actually be on a spam list.
    For example spammers can assume if [email protected] exists, then so does [email protected] and [email protected] etc. They can also use dictionary methods, make all sorts of assumptions based on other user names (e.g. with or without a "period" and add/remove it). Also the email address can also have been used before, either as a primary or sub account - this means that the email address is already known and on spam lists.
    Similarly [email protected], [email protected] etc, as well as slightly mispelt ones [email protected] ....
    If the email address was dormant until you "picked it", then any bounces returned as email address not existing will never end up at the sending spammer, as the email addresses they use as the "From" address are never theirs and are either spoofed as someone elses (and they get the non delivery reports) or just random addresses.
    There are other methods e.g. virus/trojan infected computers relaying email addresses to spammers without the user even knowing, and this virus infected computer could be a contact who has your email address, and not necessarily your computer infected.

  • Hide mailto or email address from spammers

    Hi if you want to hide your email address from spiders/harvesters etc, you can actually edit the the HTML part of the page with your email address on. First make a link click here or an image of the email address. Check the example on my website made all on iWeb.
    see http://www.concretecreative.co.nz/contact.html
    I edited the 'contact.html' with 'Taco' and cut and paste my hidden email address from 'Spamstopper' both of these app's are freeware from most ie Versiontracker.com etc.
    I hope this helps everyone.

    That is a false sense of security. My script can get your email in less than a second, this is what you are hiding behind:
    mailto: & #105; & #110; & #102; & #111; & #64; & #99; & #111; & #110; & #99; & #114; & #101; & #116; & #101; & #99; & #114; & #101; & #97; & #116; & #105; & #118; & #101; & #46; & #99; & #111; & #46; & #110; & #122;?subject=website
    #105 = i
    #110 = n
    #102 = f
    #111 = o
    &#nnn = where nnn is ascii code. So forget about hiding it, the best way of hiding it is NOT to post/publish it.
    There are four other links in that page:

  • Extract email address from html

    Hi,
    I am trying to extract "email address"  from an html output query. How would I do that?
    I am on CF9.
    example:
    Query col1:
    <html><head></head><body>today they emailed about it from (mailto:[email protected]) ...hello there and here</body></html>

    Argh!  No!
    God I hate it when people knock together a regex like this and go "Look!  Email address validation!"
    Before one starts down this road, one should read the RFC (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322, summarised here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address).
    Your own regex fails my spamtrap email address (for example: [email protected]), because you've forgotten that a + is a legitimate character in the local part of an email address.  Along with a bunch of other completely legit characters.
    Reading on through the RFC you will realise than ANYTHING is valid in the local part of an email address, provided it's quoted (double-quote being another character your regex doesn't accept).
    If someone doesn't want to give you their valid email address, they won't.  I can give you [email protected], and that will pass.  If I do want to give you my address, you should make sure your code will actually accept it!
    I can understand wanting to make sure the punter doesn't key their email address in incorrectly, but your method doesn't help here.  It'd pass [email protected], despite the fact that it should be [email protected]  "Close" is not good enough in these cases.
    The only sensible way of doing this is to ask them to type it in twice.  This will assist people who don't just roll their eyes and copy and paste what they typed in the first box into the second box, wondering why you're wasting their time.  So a typo will be transferred, so it's no help.
    If you really want to get a person's email address, deprive them of something until they respond to an email that you end them.  At the email address they specified. Because they actually don't mind you having their email address.  This only works if you're not simply trying to harvest email addresses for your own benefit, and not the benefit of your subscribers.
    Bottom line: email address is a mug's game, and one not often played by people who know the rules.

  • Address Book imported all of my email addresses from Mail without warning

    My Address Book suddenly was full of new contacts, every single email I got in the past had it's sender copied to my address book without me importing anything. They were just there. A total mess. I now have to manually erase all the contacts I don't want
    How can I prevent this from happening again?

    I have no clue. Just opened Address Book today and there they were. stuff like [email protected], mails that I got only once, or five different email addresses from the same contact, each as a single contact file. I am no stranger to isync and address book, never experienced anything like that.

  • Extract email addresses from email header - Sender (From) - Mail

    Hi!
    I would like to extract email addresses from email header from field "Sender (From)" and from email body in Mail at the same time.
    I saw only scripts how to extract from email body.
    I get emails asking for some informations about product and many people don't include their email address in the body, so I have to extract from email header as well.
    I would like to extract email addresses from whole email account, separate alphabeticaly, delete duplicates and save it (separated by comma) in text file.
    This I would use for sending massive email to all customers. 
    I'm on OSX 10.6.8.
    Do you have please somebody script for extracting email addresses in the way:
    1. select mail account
    2. run script
    3. save email addresses to txt file
    Thank you for help and advise!

    Hi Neville!
    Last time I was writing basic programs in Turbopascal in 1996.
    Maybe I'm doing something wrong...
    1. I switched off in Mail "Use Smart Addresses".
    2. I changed the path to my account in both commands:
    Command A.
    i=~/Library/Mail/[email protected]@pop.gmail.com # Input file path
    o=~/Desktop/ # Output file path
    n=`date "+%y%m%d%H%M%S"`-"addresses" # time stamped file name
    grep -rh From: $i | grep -o '[-a-zA-Z0-9.]*@.[^>]*' | awk '!seen[$0]++' > $o$n
    Command B.
    grep -rh From: ~/Library/Mail/[email protected]@pop.gmail.com | grep -o '[-a-zA-Z0-9.]*@.[^>]*' | awk '!seen[$0]++' > ~/Desktop/`date \"+%y%m%d%H%M%S\"`"
    3. I write commands in TERMINAL.
    result of Command A:
    List of couple emails same like before switching of "Use Smart Addresses"
    I answered it already above:
    It can extract to .txt file only email addresses from email header which includes after the name as well email address.
    Example:
    From: Neville Hillyer <[email protected]>
    If there is in header only the name without the email address then it's not extracted (email is visible after secondary click on the name)
    Example:
    From: Neville Hillyer
    I just checked that most of emails I have has in the emailheader only the name without the email address so I miss most of email addresses.
    Result of Command B:
    >
    And nothing going on...
    4. I tried the same in AppleScript editor
    Result of Command A:
    Syntax error. A unknown token can’t go after this identifier.
    I changed the path but I still get syntax errors
    (instead of i=~/Library... i put i= Users/muzaa/Library...)
    Result of Command B:
    Syntax error: A “from” can’t go after this identifier.
    grep -rh From: /Users/radimmuzikant/Library/Mail/[email protected]@pop.gmail.com | grep -o '[-a-zA-Z0-9.]*@.[^>]*' | awk '!seen[$0]++' > ~/Desktop/`date \"+%y%m%d%H%M%S\"`"

  • How can I copy an email address from the form results while online?

    Our form contains a field where the users submitted their email address.  But I am not able to mouse over this data in the "View Responses" tab, and copy the email address by selecting the email address and Ctrl C, and neither can I right-click this data field and copy it.
    Our organization just switched to Microsoft Office 365, and "mailto" links on web pages can no longer be clicked to launch a native desktop email client program.  So the users tasked with responding to forms submitted via Formscentral now have a much harder workflow.  They are compelled to download the data as a spreadsheet, just to be able to cut and paste an email address into their reply email.
    I suggest and request that the Flash-based "View Responses" tab be modified to allow email addresses to be selectable and able to be  copied to the "clip board".  This would allow users who can't execute a clickable mailto link to copy and paste the email address from Formscentral into a new email.  Many organizations like mine are moving away from native client-based email programs like Outlook to save money,  in favor of cloud based SAS web-based email like Office 365.
    Is there some other way to enable mailto links where no client email program is installed on the users PC?
    Thanks,
    -Dave Bartholomew

    While I am still looking for a better answer, I've discovered a way to cut and paste email addresses from the FormsCentral "View Responses" dashboard.  I wrote up the instructions to help our users and thought I'd share them in this forum as well.
    But it would be nice if there was a simpler solution...  Can anyone offer a better way?
    -Dave B
    ) Right-click on the email address
    ) Select “Filter by: …”  Doing this will change the view to show only entries that were sent from the selected email address.
    ) And it will display the Filter in the header of the form.
    ) Left-click on the email address displayed in the filtered results, in the header of the form.
    ) A new sub-form will appear, and the email address can be cut and pasted from this new sub-form.  Highlight the email address and hit “Ctrl C”, or right-click and select copy.
    ) Now you can paste the email address into a new email in Office 365. (Ctrl V) or right-click and select “Paste”
    ) Click the “Clear” button and then “OK” to exit the filtered view of the data.

  • Transferring email addresses from one account to another

    I'm not sure if this is a good place to post this but after spending a good bit of time on the phone with FiOS customer service and technical support I just feel like venting my frustrations and hope that maybe someone could give me a valid explanation of why this cannot be done.
    To give a brief (hopefully) summary of what's going on...
    My wife and I are currently in the process of moving from Florida to Maryland because of the current job market and economy situation.  As always...the moving process has been a "blast".  For at least a few months we will be "between" homes and will be staying with friends.  Because of this we had to cancel our FiOS service (which I did last week and it will be shutting off sometime today).  Since we've been very please with the actual service FiOS provides we have (or maybe I should say "had") every intention of signing back up with Verizon once we're in a new home in the Maryland area.
    So here's where the trouble comes into play...I contacted Verizon to see if it would be possible to somehow transfer our existing Verizon.net email addresses from our account to my friend's account (the person I'm staying with).  You would've thought I was asking for a year's worth fo free service.  Initially I was told by customer service that this can't be done.  They explained that an email address is like a phone number and two separate accounts cannot have the same email address.  Thanks for the newsflash!  I explained again that what I wanted to do was move my email addresses so they would now be associated with my friends account.  This didn't seem like such a horrible request considering my friend pays for FiOS service and with that gets 9 available email addresses....and was only using 2 of them.  She ultimately just told me it was something that couldn't be done.  But she did inform me of the "Verizon Your Domain" service that would allow current FiOS subscribers to associate their Verizon.net email account with a new domain name that you create.  It would cost $20 per year and would allow you to keep your Verizon.net email if you canceled FiOS service.  This sounded like an ok option.
    But still -- I was curious why I couldn't transfer email addresses.  So I then contacted technical support.  This time it was explained to me that an email address was like a social security #.  It couldn't just be given to another person.  Great analogies in use at Verizon....I give them that.  I told the guy I was a fellow "techie" and asked him for a more detailed explanation.  That's when it got good.  That's what killed me.  He spent all this time talking about ACL's and routing and how email addresses couldn't be moved because "you're talking about 2 million addresses".  Long and short he was trying to say the Verizon email system was just too complex.  Finally I told him that it had to be something that could be done....and his exact words were "well sure it can be done...but we're not going to do it if you're not paying for a service".  Wow!  Great response!  I've been a paying customer of FiOS for about two years.  I've had some form of service with Verizon for about 15 years (from phone service to mobile service with V-Wireless).  I fully understand that I'm no longer paying for FiOS service.  But my friend is.  And he has 7 email accounts he's not using.  So why couldn't they be moved?  Because the system is too complex?  Give me a break.  Like this guy finally admitted...it boils down to money.
    Finally I gave up.  I told my wife that we'd just have to deal with switching to a new email address.  Life will move on.  She wanted to try the "Verizon Your Domain" option though.  She started doing the process online...had some questions....and decided to call customer service.  She got transferred around to three different people...the last of which told her "you need to call a different department" and then CLICK. 
    Great, great job Verizon.  All I ask is if someone could give me some sort of response that makes sense.  If you just don't want to offer the transfer option then tell me. 
    I expect to be in a new home within a month or two.  And suddenly Comcast is looking very good.

    Well, CS was right when they said that Verizon cannot transfer your email to another account. In order to do that they would have to overwrite the email of your friend ( I dont think your friend would apreciate that ). This is due to a limitation on the email system.
    However, you may have another option. If you are going to be getting Verizon service again in the realitivly near future (4-8 weeks or so), Then after your acount is closed, contact tech support. If you get the right agent they will "enable" your email. That way you can continue to use it even though you dont have service any more. Now they cant do this for long but for temporary it can be done. Then once you get your service back, they can then move your existing email to your new account. (this can now be done as they will overwrite your new email with your old).
    Now if your going to be without Verizon service for more than a couple months, you may be out of luck but this is one option
    umm, oh bhoy!
    In fact, a "repoint" of an email address CAN be completed onto another account AND it does not overwrite anything on the receiving account.    Each acount, whether its a FiOS account or a copper account, has an account number.   The email address is assigned to the account number.    The email address can be "repointed" from one account to another, as an 'add-on' to the new account, then it can be 'repointed' back to another account later.    HOWEVER, the contract does say that you must have a valid account.  AND, Verizon cannot (no company can) allow you to manipulate someone else's account.  
    as to the "after your acount is closed, contact tech support. If you get the right agent they will "enable" your email", well, the fact is that the account has to be provisioned to an address.   So, though I have come accross accounts that seemed to still be "on" after the listed close date, it was not something that verizon's tier 1 tech support can effect (that's who you get on the phone when you call tech support) (note that 'sales' could not do this for you, either)   So good luck with that.
    What happens is that Verizon will not allow anyone to take your email addresses for at least 6 months. 
      Before you cancelled you may have had an option to have a notice auto-replied to any email that gets sent to your email address, for a limited amount of time, like they can do with a telephone number ("this number has been changed to . . . . . ")  that "this email address is temporarily suspended, or something. . . . I said MAY have had the opportunity. .. .   but if it was me, I would get to where you are going and make sure they have Verizon internet account already   and have them call verizon tech support (so they can verify their account info)  with you standing there so that you can verify your old account info and immediately and plainly ask if you can have an email "repoint" done for you.

    Hi sparkie,
    You cannot change your iCloud email address. It is an @me.com address, and is associated specifically with that iCloud account. If you want a different @me address assigned, you have to delete the current iCloud account and set up a new one.
