Can spambots or email havesters get the email name that is put in the FP
Webbot form handler?
Example : S-Email-Address = "address @ domain.com" (without the spaces of
course)

If they can get it, is the way way around this?


TIA

Yes they can.
The way round it is to write your own form handler using whatever
technology your host supports (ASP, PHP, Perl/CGI, asp.NET etc.) that
hard codes the email address in the handler script, not on the page.
