There are a few extensions you can get for dmx but the crawlers are wise to hex encoding etc

If you want to keep your email address away from their reaches you could build an email form (using either CDO/NTS or the smartmailer extension to send it) and pass the email address into that dynamically

Sharing knowledge saves valuable time!

That's how I do mine. I ONLY put the first part of the address in the select box tho. The crawlers can still trace the address if the entire address is in the select. On the page that sends the actual email, put this for your TO part:
Request.form("to" & "@yourdomain.com"
