We have recently started using Mollom on our Drupal site. Mollom is a clever anti spam service, that combines auto SPAM detection techniques with a normal CAPTCHA. The idea is simple, Mollom will check form submissions, if it thinks something is SPAM then it will prompt the submitter to complete a CAPTCHA. This means that you don't risk losing valid submissions to an over aggressive SPAM filter, and you don't risk scaring off users with an un-necessary CAPTCHA.
Setup is simple you need
- An account on Mollom http://mollom.com/ (there is a free limited account, or a full account for 30 Euros a month).
- The Molom Drupal module - http://drupal.org/project/mollom
- Optionally a patch to allow the mollom module to work with webforms - (http://drupal.org/node/259488 – comment #5).
