Hi, if some developer here can tell me how to get rid of some sort of script being used by ppl to auto fill my web based contact us form and thus generating mails to me.

Hi,
I had a look at your contact page. I would suggest two things:

1- add a captcha : CAPTCHA (an acronym for "completely automated public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart")
You can find an example and free code here:
http://www.webwizguide.com/asp/sample_scripts/web_wiz_CAPTCHA.asp

2- use the http referer (this is in asp, I'm sure php has a similar) to check that the form/variables sending the data being emailed actually comes from your website domain and if not it doesn't send the email !

There are probably some other methods, but these could help reduce or eliminate. Post back if you'd like help with implementation etc.

Regards,
Richard.

No problem, by the way there is a minor typo on your signature.
