Elfun Society "SPAM-free" Email System
The "SPAM-free"" Email System was created to insure that no email addresses
will exist on the Elfun external server. This includes source code, generated
HTML pages, data bases (not permitted to chapters), etc. This applies to Web
pages, news stories, project descriptions, and other documents such as
Microsoft Word and PowerPoint which can be downloaded (e.g., newsletters).
All email sent through this system will be sent behind the GE firewall where
it will be forwarded to the appropriate email addresses.
For most simple cases, you must use
"SPAM-free Email links" everywhere you
would normally code "mailto:" links.
For example, the three lines of code
Email our <%=displayEmailText(39, "Current Chapter Chairman")%>
Email the <%=displayEmailRole(39)%>
Email <%=displayEmailName(39)%>, our chapter chairman.
would appear as lines which will produce email forms, but the email addresses
cannot be obtained by SPAM-producing robots. Depending on which of the three
displayEmail you select,
the links will appear as your text, the officer's role, or the officer's name.
Email our Current Chapter Chairman
Email the Chairman
Email John Jones, our chapter chairman.
Role Numbers such as the "39" are selected
from the Role Table. This limits the use of such links
to chapter and global officers, but the Elfun Society privacy bylaws prohibit
the Web publication of names or personal data about any other person.
