[Typo3-dev] Spam Protection by images

[Sebastian Hesselbarth]

Hello list,

I am new to typo3 and fiddeling with it about two weeks now. I made a 
user function that creates Images from email addresses and stores a md5 
hash of the email to avoid using any clear text emails in delivered pages.
maybe the idea is not that good but i think esp. for small pages it is a 
good solution for spam protection because parsing an image should stop 
most wetbots from collecting you emails.
the next step is to extend the mailform to grab the right email address 
from the database and send the email.
i did not use the "internal" spam protection because i want to avoid 
using jscript for neccesary features so it is not important for the 
visitor to turn it on (although most of them wouldn't even know how to 
turn it off ;) )
if there is anyone interested in my modifications (e.g. adding userFunc 
support to makelink.mailto) or the script itself feel free to reply.
i also rewrote pagegen's HTML function to fully support XHTML and DC 
meta tags but left the original code mostly untouched and added some 
configuration options to decide which function to call (XHTML or  
original HTML).

Bye, Sebastian Hesselbarth
