[Bug]: email not obfuscated when adding "contact us" information about btcpayserver

What can or should be done about this?

The basic idea to prevent this is to output obfuscated garbage on initial page load and html source and then make it a proper mailto link with javascript. Maybe there is something prebuilt for vue.js, the basic idea is like this https://www.npmjs.com/package/email-scramble

Obviously this won't work if the crawler parses JS like a webbrowser. Safest thing there would be a contact form but there you then have again that spam problem where you need some kind of captcha or trap to prevent spam 😞

Maybe we should then simply remove it from the public pages and only handle it via #5866? @pavlenex

If the user forgets his password and smtp is not setup it might be the only way to contact the owner though? 😅
