How to Hide Email Address from web bots ?

[topmailbox]

Our email address has been collected by web bots and we get spammed a
lot.

I've seen these systems where the a 'human' has to type in a series of
letters and numbers that is displayed randomly on a random backgrund.

The idea is to...
1 - Have the user click Contact Us
2 - Then be presented with a page asking them to enter the random
letters and numbers
3 - Then to be presented with a page showing our email.

I think there may be software out there to do this.

I've also seen it where the 'human' can click for another series of
random letters if they are having a hard time reading those presented.

Anyone know where how to do this ??

Thanks for any help.

SpamSpoiler. It appears to work as the spam received now is much less
in quantity than it was. But to apply it to an email address after it
has been posted to the World Wide Web is as effective as shutting the
stable door after the horse has bolted!

Yep, the horse bolted for me, too.

I now use Spam Spoiler and I have another method using a captcha image
(distorted characters which a human needs to read)

But I still get over 100 spams per day. It was over 200, but the XMas break
appears to have slowed a few of them down (or at least they have gone on
holidays too). Only 128 overnight !!

And changing one's Email address can be very annoying. You can never
remember where it is registered (genuine non Spammers) or what friends and
family you given it to.

Instead of a direct email link I put the address in a picture and let
the use type it in themselves.
