Reduce the SPAM you receive
If you have to maintain a web site you might have already wondered why published email addresses receive much more SPAM than others.
E-mail addresses can be picked up by spammers from websites. There is dedicated software in use, so called "Harvester", which has the sole purpose of finding and harvesting valid email addresses. Those email addresses are used to create large SPAM mailing lists and often get sold on. If you can imagine how many email addresses can be harvested during a day you get the picture.
Damage limitation: So the best practise is to encrypt e-mails on your website.
How to encrypt an e-mail address on a website.
Go the 
Janaserver website.
The screen below will be displayed. Enter the e-mail address, subject (if required) and the link text. Then click on “Create Code”.
Then simply click on copy clipboard and paste the copied code into your source code.
You might also consider disabling your info@ email address and replace it with something different, as many spammers just ad the info@ in front of a domain name and send their SPAM mails out. As a high percentage of webmasters still use info@ addresses the chances to hit a valid inbox is still high.
