You can have my email but don’t take my money.

Probably wouldn’t have to kill more than one or two to dramatically reduce spam. But then it would just all com e from places like Romania. They say the young don’t use e-mail… They use instant messages. I think it is because spam has ruined e-mail.

If I can do this, then I can send an email using a form.

If the form is third party, then I am in control of where it is forwarded to.

I used a free service for this for years, then I used java script. I switched to an intermediate spam-catching address series before finally just giving up and putting the whole site on wordpress.com — the theme template I use (Blix) has a form.

I am letting WordPress protect my real e-mail address

There are different ways to hide your email from harvesters and spammers in your frontend code, and each of them have their pros and cons. The best method is basically dependent on the type of audience you have and/or the target audience you would like to make your email available to.

Hope this helps. :)
