| What is SPAM? |
Often companies or individuals will get a lot of SPAM to an email
address that is not even on their website. This is because the email
address is the recipient of emails generated by a web form and the
email address is in the HTML code of the web form. Whilst not exposing
the email address to the users of your website, it does expose the
email address to SPAMbots which read the HTML code of websites looking
for emails addresses.
