I'm curious what people are using for their snitz admin email? Perhaps this can be a headsup for others.

Since the admin email is listed on the site, like in the FAQ, SPAMMERs harvest it.

You can also add a mailto link to your message by typing in your e-mail address.

This Example:
postmaster@forum.snitz.com
Outputs this:
postmaster@forum.snitz.com
After getting totally fed up with all the SPAM in my personal email, I changed it; set up a web form to contact me; and changed my snitz forum email.

Now my snitz forum email is no_reply@mydomain.com which has an autoreply set up that tells people to contact me via my webform. Any better solutions?

I simply removed it from the FAQ

Or you could do something like this Email Obfuscator.

I've also removed all mentions of the admin e-mail address from the forums and replaced them with links to my contact form. Best and easiest solution.

Indeed, that is the best way. How many files mention the admin email? I should do that when I get a chance.

Off the top of me head the only 2 I can remember are faq.asp and policy.asp - a search for strSender will turn up all ocurrences.
