hey,

I’ve got a few mail forms on my site, and the odd text link to email me, its all in php and goes to the same email account, but i seem to be getting a huge load of spam, you know the kind of thing…

is there a way to prevent this without setting up some kinda spam blocker on my email. i used one that came with my hosting account and it pretty much sucked.

is there a way to stop it on text links too?

i’ve been looking for tutorials on secure mail forms but havent had much luck :cross-eye

thanks
