Disguising the link is what I concentrate on. So I encode the address, use an unrelated expression for the link text or an image if that's not possible, send it to an intermediate page for decoding with a javascript window.location to send it on and a window.close to (duh) close the window. All files have unrelated filenames. The encoding is pure 2 digit hexadecimal so there's no convenient delimiter (%) to explode it with. Now all the harvester bot has to do is follow every link on the site and hack the contents of the "to:" field. :(
Oh, well. Keeps me busy anyway.
