Hi, I've been looking at the spam sent from formmail and my logs and have an idea to simply stop these. Add an invisible field with a common name. If there is anything put in the field don't process the form. Would somebody like to comment? Thanks, Brian.

This is a good idea. This is actually one of the things I've been working on lately.

Another Idea
All of my spam contains a url in one or more of the fields.
Could someone send a patch to me that if a 'http' was found in the field, the website would be redirected to anther site, like google?
Maybe someone could post the patch of new code and where to add it here.
Thank you for any consideration.

I had a huge problem with SPAM. Between 80-200 per day from our form.
Simply way to fix was to add a drop down menu and make the user pick from the list. Then in "Required Fields" put that field down as mandatory. Now when people fill out the form, they must pick a department, colour or name from the list in order for the email to be sent.
We currently get 0 e-mails per day from SPAM with this new method. Works great and best of all it's already available with the current install :-) Simple HTML :-)
