Re: [feature] anti Spambot solutions

Ber,

I recently made a contact.module for my own drupal (cvs) which hides the
e-mail adresses for spam-bots. If you like, i can mail you the module so you
can get an idea about what i've done...
All e-mail adresses are hardcoded in there, but it's shouldn't be that hard
to make these chageable using an admin interface..

You can see it in action here: http://www.sempre-crescendo.nl/index/contact


Kind regards,



Stefan
