Donot.net (Do Not Disturb) web site provide an easy way to protect your email address from the Spam-Bots. These programs only purpose is to constantly comb the web in search of email addresses to add to their lists. In short, Donot.net takes your email address and encrypts it html code. So, when a spam-bot crawls your site, it just sees an html string that it doesn't understand. Your message isn't decrypted unless the user clicks on the link. Since it doesn’t use any javascript, every one can contact you.

But couldn't spammer design a spambot that decrypt it?

For sure they can do it. Thankfully Spam-Crawlers are in such a rush to keep up with the massive amount of web content that they ignore everything but the plain text of each site. Decrypt HTML code would be a waste of processor cycles to be worth it, but that efficiency will help to protect your email address. Anyway Donot.net doesn’t pretend to win the war against spammers alone but it makes their job harder.
