you could try with Akismet, www.akismet.com, they have an API that can be implemented wherever you can use PHP (will submit the message to a server and receive a true/false spam either if the mail is spam or not)

remember to send as much parameters as you have, you can read how to use it from here:

http://akismet.com/development/api/


(it will not succeed 100 % of the cases but you will reduce significantly the ammount of spam)

I have that problem with one of my sites.  If it's a human filling in the form with spam, there's nothing you can do to stop it.  I don't know how a robot would get through, though.

RSForms records the IP address.  Maybe you can block the IP addresses, especially if they're out of the country.

Subject: [joomla] question about RS!Form



Hi all,
 
I have RSForm installed on my client's 1.0.15 site, and he is getting spammed about 10 times a day, even with the captcha on.
 
On RSForm's site forums they mention this problem, with different 'solutions', has anyone else had this problem?
 
The problem is on the site: http://www.knowpci.com
 
Any ideas would be appreciated!
 
thanks,
Laura
