I am trying to write a proposal for a company, which asks for this: Describe method employed to protect sensitive information from harvesters and spammers. I am wondering if MODx has an addon which I could install, or does someone know the best way to do what they are asking? Thanks in advance.
Also they ask for "Encryption of sensitive information - including email addresses". Is there a way to this with MODx?
On the email question, I would respond that a much better approach than encrypting or obfuscating email addresses is to use a contact form that does not display them on the web site at all.
This is really easy with MODx and the eForm or SPForm snippets will do it for you. I’d suggest reading the readme.txt file that comes with SPForm. You may not end up using SPForm (eForm is more powerful and more flexible), but the SPForm readme outlines some anti-spam anti-harvester techniques that should help make your proposal more impressive.
