reducing spam when using email in FP

Guest

I have our employees listed on our page along with a hyperlink to thier email addresses. Our ISP says that we are receiving additional SPAM because of this. Is there a fix in Frontpage that will allow users to click to send mail, but deter SPAM?? Thank you for any and all help!

Use ASP or ASP.NET

Use ASP or ASP.NET to program a form that sends mail. That
way, the email addresses never get sent to the browser.

One approach, for example, is to

1. Set up a database containing a sequence number, the
employee name, and the employee's email address.
2. Load a drop-down list or an array of hyperlinks with
the employee names and sequence Numbers, but not the
addresses.
3. When the visitor clicks Send, code on the Web server
looks up the sequence number, finds the address,
and sends the message.

The form handler in FrontPage is awkward for this, because
you have to create a different form for each recipient,
and the recipient address still appears in the HTML.
