Powered by LifeTypeI got a couple spams through my Lime Daley contact form the last couple days, so I took another look at the script that I was using.

The one on the Lime Daley page isn't as good as the one I wrote for this blog, but I took a look at the statistics this morning, and it blocked 544 spams last month, only allowing three through. (More)
