Join the club, John. I tried changing default fields (are you using
'in-house' forms by the way?), added CAPTCHA, added many filters including
Spaminator. I still struggle to purge about 50-100 messages per day in 2
sites. Only 10% will bubble through, but it is enough to upset a webmaster.
If not erased quickly enough, it only encourages more.
Save the trouble, John. Changes will only cater as a temporary solution.
Consider closing comments altogether. I know I do.
