My own e-mail protection. My-Own.Net proposes the free ultimate free protection to your e-mail address from spam robots (harvesters): you can place on your site a simple web link (like a http://my-own.net/example), which automatically transforms to “mailto” link then the user clicks on link. Clicking on this link launches the default email agent like a Outlook or Thunderbird.
There are many sites that provide "spam defense" or "e-mail protection" services. They are coding e-mails by different manners in order to make the address unreadable for spam robots. But most of these manners have several disadvantages like:
- Poor usability of result - user must read e-mail from an image or clean up cryptic text ("NOSPAM", "AT", "DOT" etc.) . In other words, user can't send mail as simple as ‘click-and-send'. Unlike the links, created by referred services, My-Own.Net links are very simple to use. Just click on the hyperlink!
- Using JavaScript. Some browsers don't have an ability of translating JavaScript code to simple "mailto" link, also many users turns off JavaScript in order to protect themselves from JavaScript-based network attacks. My-Own.Net does not use client scripts like a Javascript to protect addresses.
- Require password or checking code. This manner is not suitable for addresses located on public websites.
- Low protection level. My-Own.Net protection is very safe. None of the on-line harvesters can grab e-mail from protected pages while testing the service!
Enter your own e-mail address you want to be transformed into My-Own alias (or simply: the e-mail address you want to protect), choose trusted server where you'll want to place the address. You can copy and paste the output into your HTML code, place as link on forum or newsgroup entries. E-mail will be accessed only from selected domain, if domain has been defined.
