Sometimes, we need to publish our email addresses on the Internet. However, doing so often results in a flood of spam emails. This is because many spammers use software they've developed to collect email addresses from web pages, add them to their mailing lists, and then sell these lists to other spammers for profit.
Therefore, it's best not to directly post our email addresses on web pages. In normal circumstances, we usually replace the "@" symbol in an email address with a "#" symbol to prevent it from being harvested. However, some software can still replace this symbol and add your email to spam lists. Scr.im provides us with a simple and reliable encryption solution.
When you need to publish your email address, go to http://scr.im/, enter the email address you want to publish, and choose an alias as the domain suffix, for example, xtit:
Then, you just need to publish this address: http://scr.im/xtit. Clicking this link will reveal the real email address. Scr.im also generates embedding code for you. Copy this code to the webpage where you want to publish the email, and it will display like this: [email protected]. Now, spam email harvesters, come try again!
