This does not seem very useful. Do you mean that:
joe@somewhere.com
would change into
<a href="mailto:joe@somewhere.com";>joe@Xxxxxxx</a>
That is not, IMHO, really useful. If you want to now why
take a look (when the writeups are up) to http://www.honeynet.org/scans/scan22/
E-mail mangling should be a little more intrusive so as to have users
be able to retrieve the address while make it difficult to automate. For example,
the archives should mangle the previous address randomly to:
- joe@somewhereDOTcom
- joeREMOVEme@somewhere.com
- joeATsomewhereDOTcomDOT
- REMOVETHISjoeANDTHIS@somewhere.comANDTHIS
- ...
