spamblocking

S1P3A1M3B3L1O1C3K5I1N1G2

A form of spamblock — Text inserted into an email address in order to make it invalid, though still readable to a human being. For example, in "jsmith-[AT]-example-[DOT]-com", the "@" and "." symbols have been replaced with literal text to prevent automated spambots from finding the email address while still leaving it readable.
