    Hi, I run a directory site and I have a problem with annoying spammers who target one of my listings everyday at least once but sometimes three or four different times with different spam. Often with links to porn sites or other rubbish. This has been regular everyday since the beginning of the year.

    I use Richard Bonks contact plugin which has a simple math question test to filter robots.

    The emails usually come from some where in North Europe and I block the IP’s (with a wide range) of every sender but they just pop up somewhere else.

    My lister has been advertising on my site for years successfully but has emailed me begging me to make it stop or to remove their listing.

    I run the site to make it easy for customers to contact advertisers but has anyone got any ideas how I could deter the annoying ones?
