Default Re: Can I stop spammers filling in my form?

First, do not make the address visible, have your form post the email in code, where the address cannot be seen in a "View Source". This prevents email scrapers from getting the address.

Second, make one field a 'captcha', (a graphic must be read and typed in), or a human readable question and answer that a script could not answer, like "What color is the sky?" (answer would contain the word "blue")
