Description:
Tired of spam? reCAPTCHA Mailhide helps you protect your inbox by asking people to solve a reCAPTCHA (http://recaptcha.net/learnmore.html) before they can view your email address.
The reCAPTCHA can only be solved by humans, so this stops spammers from gaining access to your email address through automated programs. Here is an example: john... (http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01_VEHcuI7_XnTsJRoRPsiIg==&c=ugWwGBIYVmKz8hCyfRwcHO4efQPZwtyhuOyhNXFkviU=)@ex ample.com.
Details:
Many spammers crawl the web looking for email addresses. When they see an email address on a web page, they send spam to the address. Mailhide allows you to safely post your email address on the web. Mailhide takes an address such as jsmith@example.com and turns it into jsm...@example.com. In order to reveal the address, a user must click on the "..." and solve a reCAPTCHA. If you use the Mailhide version of your email address, spammers won't be able to find your real email address and you'll get less spam.
The Mailhide portion of the PHP Library requires the PHP mcrypt (http://php.net/mcrypt) module.
