MangleMailtm Service
Recommendation
CertainKey recommends not posting your email address on any web page, blog, or discussion forum.
However, there are situations where this is unavoidable and precautions should be taken when doing so.
This public service is designed to help protect email addresses from spammers.
Bulk emails of unsolicited advertising (spammers as they are now called) use automated programs
('bots) to scour the internet looking for email addresses to use in their campaigns.
Many people believe using small changes to their email address (jdoe at gmail dot com) will solve this
problem - it does not.
Spammers are playing a constant game of cat and mouse with everyone on the internet, and the example above
is rendered useless with simple string substitutions.
CertainKey has made the problem of extracting your email address from an image difficult enough that it fundamentally
breaks the business model of a mass emailer.
