Guests and Bots can't see e-mail addresses by default, so the 'Users send E-mail via board' and 'Hide e-mail addresses' options don't have any affect on them.

Necrobumping old topic, thanks spambot.

Anyways, you could always block IP's listed by Project Honeypot, which tracks email harvesters, spambots, and more.

I myself have a couple honeypots installed on the server that Syntax and I manage, and are reporting spammers to StopForumSpam.
