Does using a form like this protect against spam bots getting your email: http://kb.monstercommerce.com/support/quic...formmailII.html

Because, you actually put the email address in the code... so it seems like a spam bot would still be able to get it. Please, help and let me know cus we're using these... but I don't know how much protection it gives us from spam bots. Thanks.

It helps. Every once and a while you might get a weird one.

What if I put the forms on a popup window, created with JavaScript? Spam bots don't follow javascript popups, right?

How do you make your own custom fields? Do you use the script and make changes?

I use the code from the link in my first post... and make any changes... but my point is that on most email forms, the email address is like hidden with javascript to protect against spam bots, but on this one the email is written out in the code, here:

<INPUT NAME="recipient" TYPE="hidden" VALUE="emailaddressl@yourdomain.com">

So, I don't see the point of the form... if spam bots can get the email from it.

I use formmail and every once in awhile I get spam but very rarely. You can check mine out here:

Not sure if there will be improvements in V7, would like to just use the cart contact, but don't want to spend all the time erasing the spam that I hear people get. For $12 a year, so far, the formmail is worth it.

VERY NICE!!!! THANKS FOR THE INFO!

Using the paid Formmail system, you can assign an email address a number value and call that number in the form. So instead of the code you posted, it would look like this:

The value of the recipient is set in the formmail configuration panel.
