I run a web site that provides information and answers questions vis a FormMail page. For the past week, all of my results are either invaded or corrupted. Instead of getting legitimate questions, I get variations of the following:

Note that the "submitted by" and "from:" fields do not match - this is characteristic of all results. I have not clicked on any of the "links" and have simply deleted these messages, but they are becoming a problem and now am thinking this requires action. Please advise. Thank you.

Thank you. I was hoping for a little more elegant solution that I could maybe learn some scripting skills from, but this will work.

You can try this (assuming the field should never hold an http):

<form action="goawayrobotsandpeoplenotusingjavascript.html">
<input type="text" name="questions" value="">
<script>
document.write('<input type="button" value="Submit" '+
'onClick="if (this.form.questions.value.indexOf('http')==-1) { this.form.action=\'formmail.php\'; this.form.submit()}">')
</script>
</form>
