Feedback form and spam

We are starting to get spam mail via our feedback form. The form
comes in and it is full of junk letters and numbers. Does anyone have
any idea on how to fix this?
 
There are a number of ways floating around for dealing with this. My
favorite (and it's one I have never had fail) is commonly referred to as a
honeypot method. To implement it would require some skill with server
scripting (like ASP/VBScript/ASP.NET/PHP/ColdFusion) however. Do you have
that familiarity?

No I do not.
 
Check out http://www.webassist.com for a product they have just released
called "Contact Form Solution Pack". I believe it may be EW compatible.
Why not ask them? It'll do everything you want....

If you need a form to database & email feature try www.appnitro.com

It offers a form designer and backend processing/administration function
(PHP/MySQL) - it can post to a database and email to your webmaster (or
whoever you wish) and also an auto reply the the person posting the message
through the form (I see questions about that all the time on this group).

The good thing about this is that you can then put the created forms on any
site. The application itself can be hosted on one domain, and stores all
the records and data in its database.

At this time, it's only a single user - for the Admin person, and doesn't
allow any type of user management
for individuals to edit their own records etc.

This one also has an in-built captcha feature to combat the spam problem.
