Spam Poison

WWW Robots (also called wanderers, spiders, crawlers, or bots) are programs that crawl the Web continually retrieving linked pages. When a spammer's bot visits your website, blog, forum, etc, all pages and sites linked to it will be searched looking for email addresses.

Even though we have the facility to hide our e-mails in Joomla, you can help fight back against the robots using this component.

Place a Spam Poison module on your page and whenever a spammer's robot scans your page, it will be sucked into a page on the SpamPoison.com site. They will then be redirected to trap sites that will feed it with an almost infinite loop of dynamically generated fake email addresses, mostly on known spammer owned domains! This will render their harvested lists practically useless and of no commercial value.
