[clue-tech] Question for sendmail folks regarding bitbucketing email to certain accounts

[Michael Riversong]

I simply don't use the HTML Mailto: function any more in the pages i
manage.  That cuts out a lot of spam, since the bots that spammers use
to pick up email addresses over the Web don't usually pick up plain text
addresses.

Not a very elegant solution, but it helps.
