Hi guys I have a website that is being crawled or whatever and i have a submission form for an event. I keep on getting random mail from this form. I have even disabled the submit button on the form, but keep on getting it. What can i do?
you could use a CAPTCHA image (although not entirely spam proof) you could have a random variable in a hidden input field, perhaps the session id and check this variable when the form is submitted. also form validation is important and having certain fields that are required makes it a little harder for spammers.
