I'd prefer the dual-opt-in-like behaviour where the user is mailed and
asked to confirm that he/she submitted the note.
After say 10 unconfirmed mails by a particular address, they could get
blacklisted.
+1 for this solution, if spamassasin does not work.
I realise that. So why don't we set it so you have to provide a valid
email to be able to submit a note?

Its an idea..
Instead of the captcha image, we can use a similar system that is used in
the php.net e-mails. When a note is submited, we send an e-mail, and only
when the user clicks on the link, his note is accepted.

Just my 2 cents on the use of spamassassin, how will it react to PHP
code and the like?

I would be in favour of implementing a basic mathematical
skill-testing question a la Lukas Smith's blog at
