I'm in the process of implementing a feature in the classifieds (photo and regular) where the email address is not shown (no blue link to it). Instead, when you click on the email link you will enter your message into a YT "contact seller" form which will then be sent by the server to the email address after passing through a filter. The problem is the filter - I have to study this so that that spammers, foreign cashier check thiefs, and virus senders can be detected and deleted - but not valid interested parties.

Simply passing everything through a program though will stop 95% of the trash - much of this is generated by automatic program robots that scan the internet looking for email addresses. I'll probably implement that right away as "Phase 1" and add the filter in "Phase 2".

As always, comments and ideas are welcome. You can post them here or use this form.

Thanks everyone!
