HttpblFilters
=============

This little plug-in is purposed to obfuscate spam bots collecting e-mail addresses from web sites (a.k.a. spam harvesters). This is possible thanks to the Project Honey Pot <http://www.projecthoneypot.org/>. Basic usage is as simple as:


	class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base

	  httpbl_key 'your_key'

	  ...
	end


You will need to obtain the access key from your account at http://www.projecthoneypot.org/httpbl_configure.php as it will be used for checking visiting IP address for spam harvester. Rendering the e-mail address by standard helper

	<%= mail_to '[email protected]' %>

will result to either intended address or in case of the harvester visit to random address such as [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc.
