I would surmise that they aren't 'bots' but people that use Firefox or another browser where they can store form information. They hit the page, press the button to populate the form with their spam and since you have Captcha, they enter that and then run. I was getting spammed like that from a couple of my sites- I had the easy [hideif]'s to prevent the append if the message contained the obvious keywords but that worked only about 75% of the time. You can capture their [ipaddress] and see if it's an individual or if it's coming from a certain IP range that you can then block. Your Captcha is plain text, changing it to a random graphic may help also. Other than that, best thing is to require a membership or verification via email before someone can post - unless others have more suggestions.
