Services like : http://www.wbwip.com/wbw/emailencoder.html encodes email to ASCII. Is it totally safe? Can spammers copy this code and decode it?
They can decode it, so how is it safest to show your email on the website? Probably by putting it in the image?
No, it is not safe at all. You are still exposing your email address on the page. Some dumb spiders will end confused, but those which are up to date will definitely be able to “decode” these entities quickly. The only solution is to… not expose email address at all. If you use contact form with recipients to be chosen by users, use IDs and dereference it in your code. If you need to show email – show image, but if anyone would like to have you address in their spam DB, then he can always put it by hand there.
