Email addresses are easily discovered by robots whether they are exposed on
the page or hidden in the source code. This practice allows the email addresses
to be harvested and sold to spammers or virus developers. For that reason, we do
not recommend publishing email addresses online.
"Contact Us" pages using a
standard HTML form is the preferred method to generate
emails to County officials and employees. This method eliminates the need to
post email addresses directly to the internet which can help prevent automatic
email address harvesting for the purposes of spam.
This method also provides a consistent experience for visitors that do not
have an email application, or wish to contact the County from a public kiosk or
workstation, or simply do not have their computer configured to launch their
email client.
For feedback information we recommend directing incoming emails to shared mailboxes. It allows multiple users to monitor and reply to email sent to an email address.
