I may be posting in the wrong section, but my question has to do with how e-mail addresses are rendered by Drupal. I have a site with some of my own modules and the standard CCK stuff. A lot of the posts in these forms and nodes will include something like "please contact someone@somewhere.com." The point is those posting content will also reference e-mail contacts. My concern is having e-mail addresses that appear as mailto:address, such that spiders and such can retrieve these addresses from the web site and then start spamming these unforunate soles. The posts need to be public without login, but I don't want to make it super easy for some script to mine the site for e-mail addresses. I searched and nothing obvious, but is there a module that secures e-mail addresses in the web display? And if not, what part of the Drupal core handles the web rendering of e-mails, such that if I felt inclined to develop a module I'd know what to over ride without actually hacking the core. Thanks!
