I’m not that worried about it: I’ve put email addresses on my site for years without apparently getting spam from it, and embedded in JS is even less likely to be caught. Some of this is a result of other people setting up honeypots where they put out email addresses and ban anyone sending mail to them.
If you did want to avoid it, though, you could use hashing. It’s using the list of emails to figure out which columns to put check marks in, and replacing email addresses with email address hashes (and then hashing the emails on events before comparing) would do the same thing.
Ah, nice. I noticed that mail spam got less but assumed that was due to better filtering. But I didn’t know that honey pots are part of it. For others to read up: Project Honey Pot
I agree that would be more elegant, but they rarely change
I’m worried more about them being discovered by web spiders.
