Spam Killer

We had a problem recently where a customer's
site was scraped for email addresses and their
spam went through the roof.

This command encodes mailto: tags into decimal
strings to try to trip up spam scrapers.

Overview

UI Access

You can run this command by choosing an item with a mailto: tag on it and selecting
     Commands->Spam Killer

Requirements

Type: Command
Product: Dreamweaver 3, Dreamweaver 4, Dreamweaver MX, Dreamweaver MX 2004

Spam Killer

May 14, 2003 by David Bradbury

Thought this was good but it only does half the job as far as I can tell. For example if you run spam killer on the following line:

<p>Please email me at <a href="joe.bloggs@corporation.com">joe.bloggs@corporation.com</a>

This gets converted to

<p>Please email me at <a href="&#109etc">joe.bloggs@corporation.com
  </a>

Which means that although the mailto has been converted, the email address is still visible in the code as joe.bloggs@corporation.com, when you want both the mailto and the linked to text to be encoded.

 

Works Great!

Not sure why the previous reviewer was having difficulty. My href output looks like this: <a href="&#109&#97&#105&#108&#116&#111&#58&#100&#97&#118&#105&#100&#64&#119&#101&#98&#115&#105&#116&#101&#112&#114&#111&#102&#101&#115&#115&#105&#111&#110&#97&#108&#115&#46&#99&#111&#109">

This extenstion is great. I used to grab my spam code from a website generator. This extension will save me some time. Great job.

Can Spam Killer be used on dynamic links or just static?

This extension doesn't work on our site!
I switched  to UltiMailto and that works fine.
We still use Dreamweaver 3, maybe that's th eproblem?
