I just pondered a bit about that and wondered what you thing of that idea:
Link to a contact.php page with an id
<a href="contact.php?id=222">
The PHP page then checks the referrer and IP and gets the email from a
database or other mean of storage and sends back a mailto: header:
<?PHP
/*
insert referrer testing and DB voodoo here
*/
header('Location:mailto:'.$email);
?>
Wouldn't that be a quite safe solution?
