OK, interesting point. Let's see if we can brainstorm it. First, the spam bot has to receive my autoreply, and follow the link contained to my web page form. Yea, this seems doable. Then the spam robot has to look at a series of images on my form. Let's say the images display the number 3485. The spam robot would have to read those image files, and determine which numbers they represent, and then enter those numbers in to the form. Then they would have to paste their message in to the correct field and submit the form, all by automation. I admit the spammers are damn clever, but how would they automate reading the content of randomly generated image files?
