Give the following website page a read over, it should help clear this up and show you how you can code a solution for preventing the spam you are receiving (and most likely sending out unknowingly):

Hope that helps !

Hi Dave,

I do believe that the reason you are receiving spam from your own site is because you are displaying your email address on the front page in clear text. SPAMbots are able to automatically collect your email address this way.

One way to combat this is to encode your email address into character entities.

Have a look at http://www.ohlone.cc.ca.us/org/webce...lencoding.html which should point you in the right direction.

Use captcha. Or atleast use some form validation.
Google for captcha scripts.

With the bots problem, in the source code of the website on the part that's displaying your email instead of using

dave@dmcv.co.uk

use this:

dave& #64;dmcv.co.uk

"& #64;" will keep most of the bots away =]

Remember to remove the space between & and #!
