I am trying to create a website where users post onto a forum and leave and email adress so others can respond to the forum post but I want the email adress they leave to be encrypted like Craiglist does. So if my email is myemail@gmail.com it will be posted as ek34jf@gmail.com and people can email the encrypyed email. How can I implement this into my website?

Hi,
actually they seem to use the post ID as local part of the poster email address. So, they receive an email from a user on their servers and, then, they redirect it to the original email address. It works as a relay. But they also create unique aliases for the replies... It can become very complicated, so it depends on your requirements.
