This module provides a filter that will search content for email addresses and replace them with their ascii equivalents before display. This is not a complete protection from spam harvesters, but it is some help.

Code

function invisimail_help($section) {
  switch ($section) {
    case 'admin/help#invisimail':
      return t('<p>The invisimail module privides a filter to hide email addresses from email harvesting spam-bots.</p><p>How it works: Invisimail scans content for email addresses and then converts each character of the address to its ASCII-code equivalent. The email address will appear normally on the page, but the source html will not appear as an email address. For even more security, the filter can use a JavaScript write command to further obscure the email address.</p><p>For example:<br /><i>you@example.com</i> will appear in the html source as: <div style="font-family:courier;border:1px solid #666;padding: 5px">&amp;#121;&amp;#111;&amp;#117;&amp;#64;&amp;#101;&amp;#120;&amp;#97;&amp;#109;&amp;#112;&amp;#108;&amp;#101;&amp;#46;&amp;#99;&amp;#111;&amp;#109;</div></p><p>With the JavaScript and Auto-link options enabled, the source would become: <div style="font-family:courier;border:1px solid #666;padding: 5px">&lt;script type=\'text/javascript\'&gt;&lt;!--<br />
document.write(\'&lt;a href= "&amp;#109;&amp;#97;&amp;#105;&amp;#108;&amp;#116;&amp;#111;&amp;#58;\' + \'&amp;#121;&amp;#111;&amp;#117;&amp;#64;\' + \'&amp;#101;&amp;#120;&amp;#97;&amp;#109;&amp;#112;&amp;#108;&amp;#101;&amp;#46;\' + \'&amp;#99;&amp;#111;&amp;#109;\' + \'"&gt;\' + \'&amp;#121;&amp;#111;&amp;#117;&amp;#64;\' + \'&amp;#101;&amp;#120;&amp;#97;&amp;#109;&amp;#112;&amp;#108;&amp;#101;&amp;#46;\' + \'&amp;#99;&amp;#111;&amp;#109;\' + \'&lt;/a&gt;\');<br />
//--&gt;<br />
&lt;/script&gt;</div></p><p>Doesn\'t look like an email address, does it?</p><p>Of course the best protection against spam-bots is to not publish an email address at all, but on a community site some users are going to publish email addresses. Invisimail provides another level of security to keep them from recieving spam.</p><p>To configure Invisimail, select "configure" next to the <a href="%url">input format</a> you\'d like to use. Enable "Encode Email Addresses" and submit the form. Then select the "configure" tab to choose options for Invisimail.</p>', array(
