I've been trying to figure out how to get rid of all the stupid spam emails I get for a while now. I'm not the best with code but I'm going to give it a shot. Thanks for the write-up.

Hello,
Interesting post – thanks for the info. Curious about block IP addresses once an attempt has been made by the same IP address X amount of times. Any ideas on where I can find coding for this? Is this also something that can be done in the htaccess file?

Thanks again for the informative post!

Great tips. I have been using most of them to minimize the amount of spam. My htaccess file has bout 300 IP's that are blocked.

I have used captcha when developing ASP.NET websites. I have also used server side and client side validation to avoid spams. To be honest spammers always find a way to come up with something new to break the rules.

What really annoys me is email spam. My email address gets junk email everyday I can't believe.

By the way great post specially if you are PHP developer.

Thanks

Much appreciated.

Good information. Fortunately my sites haven't hit the spammers radar. I think I favor the captcha method as it looks the easiest by using a plugin.
