But they still got it, I would be surprised if the spammers processed all gif images using OCR to find email addresses, surely not?
What a pain they are. Maybe I'll have to break it up it to several images if that's the case. Has anyone else found this?

"They" may have got it not from the web page, but from the local mail address book entry of at least one trojan-0wned zombified workstation of one of their customers ... or even in their own company.
If you changed that address from 'service' to 'support', you may also get automated mails just sent to to a variety of assumed generic role accounts in the blind, unless you change it to something special like 'service4711'.
Kind regards,

A contact form is another answer. While you'll still get spammers trying to hack such forms some simple precautions eliminate most of them.
Personally I prefer to publish my contact address and deal with the spam as it arrives.

I also have tried various solutions to avoid SPAM but wihout losing mail from real clients. The only solution that works for me is above.
I now funnel all my mail through Gmail which does a great job at filtering the Spam. A few get through, especially the bounces from Spammers using my domain names.
What really annoys me is the so called professionals who bounce spam to the spoofed domain rather than actual source.
