[TYPO3] spam protect/jumpurl

[Chris Paige]

Well folks, I know nothing is perfect.  But I'm looking for a non-javascript 
solution that is better than a completely unobscured email address (which is 
my other non-javascript option for a mailto: right now).   My sites are not 
going to have huge traffic or be intense targets of spambots, but I would 
like to offer users connected to my clients some level of basic 
spambot-avoidance to at least put a dent in email harvesting from my sites.

spamProtectEmailAddresses=ascii does not work with tidy, which I need for 
other reasons.  So it is of no use to me.

jumpurl=mailto%3Ausername%40domain.com  Moves the mailto behind an http:// 
reference which should help some.  And they would not be able to do a simple 
search on @, since that would be obscured.

jumpurl=mailto&jumpuname=username&jumpdname=domain.com  would not lead to a 
garden variety mailto link.  It would offer the mailto link as a destination 
in the header as a redirect.

AND not all spambots follow links anymore (they work off Google/Yahoo and 
such), because of the risk of spamtraps when they follow links).  So moving 
it into the jumpurl feature should offer some hinderance.

P.S. I'm not talking about spam traps and robots.txt so forth (though that 
would be an interesting extension project for someone with more time and 
expertise than I have... imagine if TYPO3 sites were known for how easily we 
could implementing sophisticated spamtraps and robot filtering? )
