    Some browsers block the referrer header, so it's a no-go for those browsers. No real way around that unfortunately. You're either open to everyone, or non functional in some scenarios.

    The only thing I can think of to immediately remedy is set custom variable requirements in the ASP & form. Even then, the spammer just has to come back and check your form code again to get those variables. A short term solution at best...

    Maybe check the logfiles to get the referrer of the spammer and then exclude posts from them? Not exactly the easiest solution if you're not an ASP guy, I know... :S
