You say you're being spammed, but if all the mail goes to you, what are
they trying to accomplish? (Serious question.)
Do they think they are spamming other people? Perhaps they are setting a
TO address (which you don't use) in the mistaken believe that they are
sending spam to those people. I ask because in that case you could check
for a bogus TO address even though you don't use it - simply to check when
the form is being targetted. I would check exactly what parameters they
are sending to you.
