What *won’t* EmailShroud detect and protect?

For almost all typical uses, EmailShroud works painless out of the box.

In the following rare circumstances, EmailShroud may pass through the email addresses, unprotected:

• Domain names with multiple consecutive dashes.
• Email addresses in WordPress page titles and post titles.
• Where the anchor tag is malformed, so it is not recognized as an anchor tag.
• Where the email tag appears outside of the pages, posts, excerpts and RSS feeds. In particular, in a list of links in a side-bar or in templates.

In the following rare circumstances, EmailShroud may damage existing links:

• Where a user-name and password is included in a URL.
  • i.e. using the userinfo subcomponent of a URL.
  • This is rarely used outside of phishing attempts.
• Where cc, bcc and subjects are provided in an anchor tag, they may be stripped out.
• Where email addresses are included in title or similar attributes inside an anchor tag, they will be replaced with the user name.
  • There has been a report of this happening in input forms.
• Where the anchor tag is malformed, so it is not recognized as an anchor tag.
• Automatically generated excerpts may have their email addresses stripped.
• Email addresses in Category Descriptions.

More information about the limitations is available.
