Forms & Spam

[Mary Ann]

Please take a look at http://www.jeanscanvas.com/estimate.htm

The form works fine and has for awhile now but we receive a lot of spam. How
can we stop or at least reduce the spam while keeping the form for customers.
Thank you.

http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/anti-spam / may give you some
ideas, but you will need to edit gdform.asp

Also, remove all email addresses from your website, or at least obscure
them (use JavaScript to build a mailto: link rather than simply write it
out where spambots can harvest the address.) The mailto: links should
be replaced with a contact form. The existing email addresses should be
changed since they are already attracting spam. If the form sends email
to [email protected] then the spam is likely coming from the mailto and
not the form itself.

The page actually contains 2 forms - 1 using gdform.asp, the other using
the FP extensions. This second form displays the email address in plain
sight in view source, but contains no fields or buttons. The email
address is already compromised.
