spam through contact forms

hi!
i'm looking on my server (with several installations of spip, joomla and drupal) what contact forms are used by spammers. so one of the options is within the spip sites. i've been looking for a way to secure the contact forms but i can't find any articles discussing this.
any ideas?

Maybe the plugin Akismet can help you :

(it's inside the archive
http://miroirspip.ventre.name/builds/plugins/plugins_dev.zip)

But you can also work on the code of the forms generated for the
forums : a dynamic hidden field is generated at each call.

I recognize that all this seriously lacks of documentation :confused:

A last question : why do you use SPIP for contact forms ? Maybe other
solutions can better manage spams while being integrated to your site.

i must apologize. i thought the spam mails got generated on my server (looking t othe headers) but i looked at the mail spamassassin created and not teh original mail that got sent in attachment. so there is no spam coming from the spip forms.
(i don't use spip for forms on my own website but on several other websites i host where i use spip)
thanks anyway and yes it would be nice to have some form of protection in contact forms. i now use mailcrypt from 'couteau suisse'.
