Spam-proof form mail script?
Discussion
I currently use a formmail script on my website and recently I've been receiving a number of spam mails like this:
I don't think this is going out to anyone else, but even if it isn't, it's still annoying to get loads of these mails almost every day.
I'm currently using the nms formmail script, however I'd be interested to know if there are any off the shelf perl scripts that would prevent these attempts at spam from getting through to me - possibly one where the user has to enter a verification code in order to send the mail.
Any suggestions? I've tried googling, but there are quite a few out there and I don't know if they're any good or not.

Just publish an email address instead but encoded?
