Welcome Email - replacing store owner's email address with link to 'Contact Us'page

We recently had an increased number of 'dud account' creations, all done with a valid customer email address - mostly hotmail, yahoo or gmail domains.

Subsequently we have been getting an increased amount of spam email sent to the store owner's email address, mostly consisting of Nigerian Scam or request to 'update your financial information with bank blah blah blah...'

To stop this I would like to replace STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS in file includes/languages/english/MY_TEMPLATE/create_account.php with a link to our 'Contact Us' page.

define('EMAIL_CONTACT', 'If you require any assistance please don't hesitate to email the store-owner: <a href="mailto:' . STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS . '">'. STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS ." </a>\n\n");

What should I use instead of STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS ?

Thanks in advance.

Here is my suggestion.

define('EMAIL_CONTACT', 'If you require any assistance please don't hesitate to <a href="index.php?main_page=contact_us">email the store-owner</a>.<br /><br />');

The learning is in the doing.
