E-mail Access Validation
What is This?
E-mail Access Validation is a human-interaction step to divert spam bots from collecting e-mail addresses posted on our Web site.
Why Does it Exist?
The E-Mail Access Validation process is implemented as a step to keep the e-mail addresses of the Earlham community safe from e-mail harvesters. E-mail harvesters, or spam bots, are programs that traverse the web searching for e-mail addresses. The addresses found are added to lists, then used by or sold to companies who send unsolicited, mass e-mail advertising commonly known as spam.
Translation:
To reduce the amount of Spam sent to Earlham E-mail addresses, we have created this simple process to avert harvesting on our site.
