Anti Spam is an action for FreewayPro and Express that allows users to quickly, simply and securely encode mailto links in their web pages so that spam bots cannot harvest them.

Adding e-mail links to web pages is very easy with Freeway and is a great way to get some direct feedback from your site's viewers but comes with a hidden danger.
Both online and offline applications are available that allow these e-mail links (otherwise known as mailto links) to be easily 'harvested' with the intention of building databases for sales purposes. Normally what will happen is that a 'spam bot' will crawl a web site looking for anything that looks like an e-mail address. Once located it will add this information to its database which is subsequently sold on. It isn't too hard to find these databases for sale on the internet that offer thousands of 'potential customers' for your service or product.
The art of sending unsolicited e-mails (commonly known as spamming) is generally frowned on by those that receive such e-mails and it will almost certainly have a negative effect on the company or organisation undertaking it.
