[Zope] Email Anti-spam solution

[Bruce Eckel]

Here's the solution. Instead of using a mailto tag, put something
like this on your web page:

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/Util/send">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="name" VALUE="bruce">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="domain" VALUE="EckelObjects.com">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="subject" VALUE="Here is the subject
line">
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Send Email to Bruce">
</FORM>

Add this in as the external method 'send' (which in my case is in
the /Util directory):

'''Send email via anti-spam mechanism'''

def send(self):
  mailto = 'mailto:%s@%s' % (self.REQUEST['name'],
self.REQUEST['domain'])
  if self.REQUEST['subject'] != '':
    mailto += '?Subject=%s' % self.REQUEST['subject']
  return self.REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(mailto)  

Voila! No more spambots collecting your address!
