I wouldn't spend a lot of time on this. If this is the worst your customer has to deal with, they're doing okay. They could simply block these at their mail client on their local machine. Ashley's suggestion is the best solution. If I ever see spam on any form of mine or my customers', I immediately implement CAPTCHA to block it. This may not block human-generated spam, but human-generated spam is a huge minority because it's so labor-intensive. Paul -- Paul M.
