We also had several forms being spammed and took two approaches to stop it.
1) We recorded the IP address of every message sent and identified the IP addresses of the spam robots. We then placed them in a database and if the visiting IP address matched one from the database we didn't show the form. Since it is a central database this approach works across all the domains we host. 2) We added a CAPTCHA written by Bobby Hartsfield from http://acoderslife.com called cfbhcaptcha. It was a pure CF implementation (we still run CF5) and was easy to install and worked quite well. On a more public site that send to users we also added a timed function to only allow an IP to send one email every two minutes.
