If you wrote your own form to post to the remote action page, you'd set the
time field yourself anyway.

....yeah, you could check the referrer but thatÂ’s easily spoofed or simply
not reported

One of my colleagues suggested a solution that almost works, On the form
page you have a form field which has the time when the form is loaded
(now()), on the action page, you make sure hte field exists, and then also
see if now() now is atleast 1-2 seconds more than the formfield value
(hoping that if it is a bot post, it would be very quick and less than
whatever the interval we set it as, and hence a bot). Only if the time
difference is "human", do you process further. 

Hope this helps.
