I have an ASP guestbook on one of my sites that is frequently spammed, I think by some kind of automated software. Any suggestions about how to stop this? Maybe a combination of javascripts might work? Appreciate any suggestions. Thks.

Most spam thingies look at the source code and see the e-mail, maybe encoding the e-mail in unicode might help... that's what I've done. For example...

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>&lt;a href="&#109;&#97;&#105;&#108;&#116;&#111;&#58;&#106;&#111;&#101;&#64;&#98;&#108;&#111;&#103;&#103;&#115;&#46;&#99;&#111;&#109;"&gt;&#106;&#111;&#101;&#64;&#98;&#108;&#111;&#103;&#103;&#115;&#46;&#99;&#111;&#109;&lt;/a&gt; </font id=code></pre id=code>
