To Kevin Carroll, re: needing to be contacted:

In such cases, perhaps you can get away with a layer of indirection. Instead of putting your email address there, put in a small form allowing people to contact you. The form should be simple: just an email address to contact the person in question, and the message they want to send you.

You can have the form direct all submissions to your email address (which you are not publishing, instead only the Web server knows it and directs form submissions to it), and can use the reply function of your email client to respond directly to the address claimed by the commenter, whose email is also not being published anywhere.

You can probably hire any half-decent Web programmer to write this for you, and it does the desired job -- keeping your email safe from prying eyes.

What about if you have a site advertising your services, and you need to put your email address there? Is there no way to stop this being picked up and spammed?
