I have just started receiving spam from an email address which I've never used but is listed on a website that I own. I know that there is software out there which goes around spidering links and harvesting email addresses for the purposes of bulk mail.

My question is, do you know any way to thwart these annoying practices? Can I put anything in the meta tags of the pages? Any code at all which will stop the bots from getting my email addresses?

I swear if I get one more email advertising a way to 'enhance' my sex life I'm going to scream!


Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
