Creating an image with your email address isn't that difficult. Most basic image editing applications will let you embed text in a picture file. But Spam Proof eMail Generator makes things even easier. You don't have to download any application to your desktop. You can select from a group of fonts, colors, and text sizes. And you don't even need to host your image online. The generator will create an image for you and give you then give you an embed code and an image link.

So, the website visitor bears the burden of having to copy the email address to an email? I think this solution is on the right track, but not quite there yet. I know we cannot have it perfect yet, but for now, I'll just rely on my server's spam killer.

Also...who's to say this site owner isn't going to sell the email addresses that are entered into the form? If not now, in the future? Call me a skeptic, but I'm suspicious of almost any site that wants my email address or phone number.

Appears to be registered to Futerox, which is an Indian web design company. So maybe on the up and up?

Hi Guys,
Well i am the owner of spam proof email generator.
Interesting topic going on here.
Well firstly, thanks brad, for posting here and sharing with others.
Regarding the email address to be shared:
Well the reputation of futerox is well knowned and we have worked with 100's of clients in web development in USA and UK. If i was about to sell email list or so, i would have purchased this domain under domain proxy so that no body would ever know about us and we can sell the email list.
So its a matter of trust for a service like this, if you feel good about it, trust it and use, we have more projects coming like this.
Our another website is lovequotescollection.com in which we have a daily subscriber list for quote of the day, well, what i can say, i never checked how many emails are registered per day. Its huge but i never care about selling those.
Earning adsense income , providing good quality content and building websites is our business and we are quite happy with it.
Hope that helps you and everybody who are looking to use it or share it.
Thanks
Pushpak Bhatia

Thank you for your comments; it makes a big difference when the owner of the referenced site comes on and shares his views.
It makes me feel a little better about using that service.

I've recently adopted the use of reCAPTCHA's "reCAPTCHA Mailhide" ( http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/ ). Not only is my email address obscured from spammers, but anyone who does the captcha to get the address is helping translate books into text that have failed OCR by filling out the captcha. Win-win, in my mind, and my readers don't seem to mind the short extra step, either.
