I've set up a feedback form posted on http://www.csudh.edu/oir/Feedback.cfm and unfortunately someone is spamming from various yahoo email accounts with viagra links. How do I stop this?

Thanks. I've never heard of CAPTCHA so I just did a search. Once I saw it I recognized having to complete those before. Unfortunately it is not accessible to people with disabilities which is a problem for me since I'm at a university.

I did find one LyleCaptcha which is for coldfusion. Unless there is no other alternative, I'll have to go with that or just let it be.

Thanks again for your help!! It's much appreciated!

You could implement a CAPTCHA, or write a function to remove any link tags. In ASP there is a Replace function, I don't know about Coldfusion though. The CAPTCHA would be your best bet, because it prevents spam programs from filling out the form, and submitting it hundreds of times.

Thanks for inquiring. I'm sorry, its not those emails.

What actually is happening is someone is filling out the Feedback form but instead of providing feedback, they are missusing it by adding viagra links.

This spam is coming in everyday. Sure could use some advise how how to stop this.
