Right, that “Contact me” link with a mailto:coolguy@awesomedesigner.com is spam bait. Obviously it’s required if you want people to contact you, but will easily be picked up.
How much of that mail actually gets to you will depend on who is running the back end server. If you are using a pop server through your web host, you might get more spam if they don’t filter it aggressively. If you use Gmail or another well run e-mail service they’ll block that spam from getting to you.
I apologize in advanced to coolguy@awesomedesigner.com for the spam he is about to receive.
