September 14, 2009 - The Woodlands, TX - Web sites that have email addresses on their Contact Us page are just an open invitation for a web bot to harvest the address, and add it to a giant list of "good" email addresses, which is then sold to spammers.  What typically follows is a deluge of spam messages for everything you can imagine and one unhappy client.  One effective way to combat these unsolicited email messages is to add a reply box to the page that requires a human to enter a code that cannot be read by a machine, but is simple for a human to respond to.  We wrote a script specifically for our Expression Engine customers and it has been very effective, so we decided to create a commercially available plug-in that you can easily add to your Expression Engine site or blog for under $10.
