I had one of these too. As far as I could tell, it was an automated process to harvest the email addresses where forms send back a confirmation or thanks by email. In my case, the spammer was filling out the same information in every field, so all I did was change the action page so that if field1 = field2 = field3 = field4, it just gave a 'thanks' page on the site, sent no email out and dumped the results. The problem went away then. I dont know if the spammer still has his computer pointed at my client's site or not.
