Well in my case I'm getting to the point where I'll consider anything. I have a request for a service form on one of my sites, where users can ask us to contact them about the service. All it does is send us their details. It doesnt post any of the form results back to the user, it doesn't post anything on the site. But day afer day we get dozens of emails about online poker.
I've followed this and similar threads, implementing every suggestion and I'm pretty sure that no one is using our form as a defacto mail server with bazillions of bcc addresses - i've limited that - any field with an "@" in it apart from the email field means the whole message gets dumped with no feedback ot the user. I use CFINPUT to validate the email field, meaning you can have only one "@" in it. So I'm sure there are no additional emails being sent. Nothing goes up on teh site, all that happens ( i think ) is that we get these emails inviiting us to go play poker online and we delete them. One after the other. It's nothing more than annoying, I think. Or can anyone see a different and perhaps more sinister thing happening here? If you want to see the form concerned it's at http://hawkradio.org.au/goArticle.cfm?pid=148750 I have been reluctant to use Captcha style techniques up to now, but i'm getting annoyed anough about these emails to think seriously about using it now.
