There are only two ways for a spambot to get your email address from

slow. I may be wrong, but I doubt that any serious harvester would
consider this method; B) to read it via text contained within your
web site.
C) Run it through a regular HTML parser.
And where does the HTML parser get it's text to parse if not from the web site?
The requested URL /www.xn--ovg.com/captcha was not found on this server.
Both:
http://www.xn--ovg.com/captcha
and
http://xn--ovg.com/captcha
works for me and others -- sorry you had problems -- will look into it.

Which requires the end user to have JavaScript turned on,
Yes, that's the reason I said "it's javascript".
and assumes that
bots can't parse JavaScript (they can, maybe not all, but certainly some).
The point isn't that it can't be done, but rather that you create
enough trouble for them to pass on your address. If you think writing
a parsing routine is simple, then write a routine to parses this:
<script type="text/javascript" >

I think trying to figure out what that's about is more trouble than it's worth.
> Using javascript isn't bad -- at last count less than 9 percent of
surfers don't have javascript.
There is no way to reliably gather such statistics.
Reliable? You can rely on whatever you feel comfortable with. For me:
http://www.thecounter.com/stats/2005/December/javas.php
at least I have some idea. It's better than nothing.
> Another way is to use PHP, but it is involved.
PHP won't provide you with a way to display an email address to a human but
not to a spambot.
I'm not talking about displaying an email address. I'm talking about
creating a mailto:
> I direct you to "PHP Cookbook" O'Reilly by Sklar page 188.
I'm not going to buy a book so I can explain why the technique won't work.
Your choice OR you could visit a book store.
