Re: Form spamming

You would need to use server scripting to do this. I have just done a PHP
page that checks for exactly that kind of spam - if it's found, it sends me
an email, and sends the spammer to a real looking thank you page, but that's
all it does.

We are having some difficulty with a spammer who uses the Contact us! Form
on
our website. The spammer uses the same letters in the 'Name', 'E-mail
address', 'Location' etc boxes followed by the usual spam rubbish in the
'Message' box. Is there any way that we can set up FrontPage to reject
(delete) the message when the spammer clicks 'Send'?
What has been suggested is "What I recommend doing is checking the detail
entered into the Form itself and if they match the ones you say are always
the same to reject details" but we dont know how to do this.
Any helpful advice will be appreciated.
