The Fight Against Spam

Nov. 10, 2009 - PRLog -- Most businesses are plagued by the problem of unwanted emails, otherwise known as Spam.  But if you run an internet business then the problem can be much worse. Any email addresses displayed on the internet is open to being used by spammers to send unwanted emails. This costs business both time and money.

It’s reported that over 90% of all emails sent worldwide are Spam with an annual cost to businesses in the region of $130 billion (Symantec May 2009). Reason8 who specialise in providing websites for small businesses understand the difficulties they face when spam spirals out of control. As a result they have added extra spam protection for their client’s websites.

Now all website contact forms use the latest “captcha” technology. Users of the form are required to enter a random series of characters before submitting it. This ensures that it is an individual making a genuine enquiry apposed to a spamming program.

In addition email addresses displayed on the contact pages have their own protection. The Reason8 website builder uses complex JavaScript code to hide the address. The JavaScript separates the component parts of the email address, preventing the spam programs from reading it. The JavaScript then reconstructs it enabling individuals to view and use the address. As a result all email addresses on these pages will be protected from future spamming.
