Hi

I am my wits end! I have a PHP script running that captures variables
posted from a form on the previous page. The script then emails the
results using the mail() function.

The script is currently being spammed in two ways:

1) The page is being loaded directly, therefore emailing blank results
2) The variables are made up of an accepted email address (all variables
are filled with it). This email address is random, created using any
cobinations of characters before the accepted domain.

Does anyone have any ideas of how I can stop this? The mails are
exceeding 60 per day now! Obviously it is some form of program doing it
but I don't know of a way that I can stop it, either to restrict the
variables or the script page or what?

Any help would be much appreciated!
