Nobody/nothing can stop all the spam, if the spammer actually visits your guestbook it is very very hard for a script to tell the difference between spam and a normal post.

How much is "a lot"? Try disabling JunkMark filter and $settings['autosubmit'] for a week to see how much is "a lot more" :P

Perhaps, you failed to read my post only two posts down from yours:
"How do I stop a persistent spammer?"

If you implement the code recommended in the thread, you will stop repeat spammers. Go here - viewtopic.php?t=751

Alas, if you have different email addresses for each spammer, you will have to make separate entries for each new address as outlined in the thread.

I just checked my logs.. Someone has tried for 3 hours without a break to enter their spam into gbook.. All different IP numbers.. they are still trying as I type this. Nothing has ended up in the guestbook. Beautiful!!
This has been an every day thing since the last version was installed.

I just want to say.. THANK YOU Klemen!! Great job and I for one really do appreciate it very much.

Thanks Junefly. As you see although 100% spam cannot be blocked, the script really blocks A LOT.
