We'll be announcing a web service in the near future to scan this, you'll be able to call the service from asp.net and we'll return a score of how likely it is to be spam. You can then take action based on the score.
Another thing we do today in things we write is have a link to say "report this as spam" - We don't delete it immediately, it has to be reported by several distinct IP addresses to be considered spam. If [x] IPs report it then we don't display the item.

I was thinking more in the region of analyzing the user's message when he tries to enter it into the guestbook. I could use regexp's to trap the usual type of spam phrases but I really do not want to get myself into a situation where I have to maintain this constantly.. After trawling the net for a few hours I realize that there is no simple solution to this. A centrally accessible, maintained and updated list of spam key phrases would be nice.. The suggestion of mailing the message to a spam scanned mailbox via asp and then retrieving it again directly (if its still there and not spam) is an interesting approach.. Yahoo!
