Default spam from email addresses used in html

whilst searching for a payment portal and shopping cart i have noticed that many require the store email in the clear in the html. Spiders love this.

Can anyone please guide me to a technique or system that will not give me an inbox full of viagra. the "add to shopping cart" button code for Paypal requires the return email in the clear.

If you use shopping cart software there is no need to have your email address included in the HTML. It's only sites that use PayPal as the shopping cart that need this because the store owner's PayPal email address is included in the HTML of the page as a form variable.

Sites that use this technique aren't shopping carts, they are merely HTML pages strung together that use PayPal as the shopping cart.

Examples of Shopping cart software are Zen Cart, OsCommerce, OpenMind Commerce. These are real shopping carts that can use PayPal as a payment method, but don't require an email address to be used in the site's HTML.
