Not familiar with that one. Although I think they are fighting a losing battle by giving out an email address in the first place. If this becomes a common practice spammers will just change how they harvets details and include "[@] and @". I use a contact form so that people can contact me. This way my email remains anonymous unless I respond to a query. I would encourage the website owner to maybe look into changing this. The fact that they have chosen to do this means they are obviously inundated with spam or they have no effective or no spam filters. I also use a spam blocker on my website that uses a range of filters, like HTTP known headers, IP lists, user-agent strings, and robots.txt conformance to determine if the requesting host is a spambot or a harvester. It seems to work very well. Was you thinking of using it yourself as a host?
