Should you publish a email directory of all users on webpage
We are rolling out a new website. Management has requested that we put a directory of every email address of all of our employees on the site. I am hesitant. I am concerned about spambots and spiders, as we have a very small staff, and don't have a webmaster on staff, I know there are ways to prevent it somewhat, but I am afraid we don't have the resources to stay on top of it. Can anyone give me pros and cons of this, or point me to articles discussing this. I have looked myself, but I think I must be phrasing it wrong because I am not finding much.

My university does do this and although we do have spam the microsoft spam client for exchange works well at the server to block most spam, not nearly all. We don't have a true intranet, so this was the trade off. We have been bought out by a hospital and they don't publish their employees emails online (which has been a thorn in my side for a long time). You need an obfuscated link to see their address book.

Although our university does not have a no-names policy, I maintain that non-policy with all callers. If they call me about security matters - I get a lot of that - I just say that there is someone else in charge of that for the college itself. I never give names and just say it is against policy.
seriously? you have an obfuscated link to a credit site? Whatever elitepersonalfinance.com is I wouldn't go there just because you posted it that way! And you say there is a security plan on the main page of a credit site?
