Are you getting SPAM submissions on your "contact" page form? I think spammers are trawling for pages with the term "contact" in them, or maybe they're looking for site links that say "contact"?

I have 3 forms (on different pages) and ONLY the "contact.php" page is getting hit with bogus submissions... BLASTED actually with stuff like this:

email: Gambal@gmail.com
realname: Grubuz
comment: <a href= http://<URL REMOVED> >celebrity</a> celebrity
area: Unknown
ph-pre: Unknown
ph-4: Unknown
Phone:

==================================

REMOTE_ADDR=74.76.175.135
HTTP_USER_AGENT=Opera/9.0 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)
REMOTE_USER=
REMOTE_HOST=

Do you have any thoughts or SOLUTIONS for this?

THANKS!!!:)

Hi,

Yes. You need to use Captcha (Image Verification). There's a HOW TO guide about it.
