Re: PHP formmail getting spammed by bots



Message-ID: <1143456574.400000.268870@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> from
KoRnDragon contained the following:

I don't want to make my users have to go through any verification
clicking/typing but I don't want spam from bots either... Any more
suggestions?

It the bot trying to add a newline? I check all user input that doesn't
come from text areas for newlines and drop anything that contains one.
