    Look for a way to add a captcha / Turing test to the comment system. That stops the automated spamming. Any decent guestbook software offers one nowadays.

    It would be helpful if we knew what guestbook software you're using. Its been a while since I ran a guestbook, but I know they have evolved quite a bit since the old Matt's script I used. I now run a WordPress-based blog that is starting to see a lot of spam, so I'm starting to look for a solution as well. In teh case of WordPress, there are several plugins available that combat spam wither by a user's action (such as CAPTCHA) or by filtering the content, much like SpamAssassin does for email. I wouldn't be surprsed if there was something similar available for your guestbook.

    Jason, as written above, I´m using the AdvancedGuestBook (v2.3.1)

    However, everybody find a solution for Advanced Guest Book there:

    Where is your guestbook? I want to spam it...
    DISCLAIMER Any resemblance between the views expressed above and those of the owners and operators of this system is purely coincidental. Any resemblance between these views and my own are non-deterministic. The existence of Vin DSL is questionable. The existence of views in the absence of anyone to hold them is problematic. The existence of the reader is left as an exercise in the second-order coefficient.
