I am getting spamed via a form on my web site, can anybody help?

Question

A spammer is sending me hundredes of emails daily, using the form on my own web site( the one I use to get visitors' feedback)
He write using different words, differents names and email adresses every time, as if using a software to generate such messages !
Is there any way I can stop him?

Please, help....

Thanks for the feedback fellows.
I tried to block his IP address, but he changes it every time.

Answer 1

Maybe you could try a new sort of form from bravenet.com (free or pro version)

With this form you could block the IP adress of this person. Also you can add an image witch he needs to type over so software or bots can not leave feedback.

Answer 2

The problem is tat you are using a well known guestbook / feedback script on your web page..
The people spamming your page are using a script that is singing up the feedback form automatickly..

I guess you'll have to rewrite some code on your feedback form..

I had the same problem with my site, but I managed to find the ip the spammer was on, so I blocked it from my control panel.. It worked!!
