Code

-- START file otliam.php --
<?
$to = $HTTP_GET_VARS["to"];

/*
Configure the variables and case options
*/
$domain = "mycompany.com";

switch ($to) {
        case "info":
                $addr_info = "MyCompany, Inc.";
                break;
        case "webmaster":
                $addr_info = "To the Webmaster";
                break;
        case "name":
                $addr_info = "Surname I. Name";
                break;
/*
and add as many case options as you want here.
*/
        default:
                $addr_info = "mailto.php configuration error";
                $to = "webmaster";
}

/* send the mail header */
header ("Location: mailto:$addr_info <$to@$domain>");
?>
-- END file otliam.php --
Save this as 'otliam.php' or anything else.

In your page, instead of using

<a href="mailto:name@mycompany.com">Send a email to: Surname I. Name</a>

which can be spidered by any email spam robot include the following link to your
page (example):

<a href="otliam.php?to=name">Send a email to: Surname I. Name</a>
