Accessibility

MailMask.net is handheld / visually impaired friendly

Other options exist for masking your email address from automated email harvesters. These include methods such as replacing your address with an image, using javascript tricks, or by using text that users should replace before they send the message (eg. test at MailMask d o t net).

Currently, many of these solutions are effective at blocking most harvester bots. Unfortunately, these methods are also effective at blocking visitors on handheld devices. These solutions also make it difficult (if not impossible) for visually impaired visitors to find your email address. MailMask.net has developed a text based question and answer process that effectively blocks harvester bots, but still allows these visitors to contact you. Visitors have the option to use the text-based process or the slightly faster image based process to retrieve an email address.

By designing the system to support visually impaired users, and people with other accessibility issues, we help ensure that any real person who wants your email address can find it.
