I had that problem.. and the danger is that if there is too much spam, the sellers will leave your site and go elsewhere because it isn't worth thier time.. so you need to stop it.
What I did was set up a system where the form submission saves the email to a database and a human has to approve it manually. I have a screen where the pending emails are listed and there is a radio button next to each message for send or delete. You can sort them in any way - like by ip address of sender, email of sender, email of recipient, etc.. I also have a way to add a sender's email or ip address to a block list and also to add key phrases (like "pay more than you ask" )to a block list.... then when this admin page is displayed, I check each message to see if any part is blocked - if so, I display it as red with a default of delete, if not it is green with a default of send. I just glance down the list - looking for one person sending multiple messages and see if they look legitimate or not.. I can quickly process a lot. I do it maybe 20 times a day..... but if you have a huge volume, hire someone to do it I am finding that about 2/3 of all submissions are spam now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
