In the meantime what I've done is made it so the pagename that the form posts to changes every day to some nonsense name (_x7R4sw9c.html, etc.) using a pre-parse script that triggers when the form page is loaded. So far so good. If spammers manage to figure it out, I'll change the name 2x a day and then after that I'll do CAPTCHA. -Dan > > The only thing I'm not sure about is that the filename contains the > actual number... so I would think a utility that is smart enough could > find that number (as it is the last digit before the suffix). > > I may change this so that the file name is more encrypted.. and then > use a reference table to find the correct file name. > > Donovan ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
