Hello all,

please move this to the right forum if it is in the wrong section.

basicaly my companies website has an order form for services, but it seems some one (or an automatic program) is abusing it.

it is linked to our corporate email, and everyday we recieve 10-20 spam orders where the blanks in our order form would be filled with useless lines like "viagra" and so forth.

even worse we suspect that soemone is perhaps linking us and using our order forms and sending them to other random emails on our behalf, not very nice i'm sure anyone can imagine.

is there a way that we can format our order forms to prevent any sort of automatic filling in.

perhaps that random image generating contraption i see now and then on some sites?

help is appreciated.

cheers,

Fork.

Or you could have an image verification to stop programs and avoid spammers,

and you could have drop down lists instead of free text input to discorage them as well.
