there are not many javascript savvy bots out there


I've yet to hear of even one that can figure out a server-side mail to redirect. :D
Strong with this one, the sudo is.

joebert you may or may not be right. but in all seriousness how long would it take to hack a bot to make it work ? 5 maybe 10 minutes.

adding javascript to a bot is a bit harder (actually its easy) but the bot will take a lot longer to run, slowing down the harvesting process

In truth the only way to stop harvesting bots is use forms with server side email lookups.

but we've down down that path....
